Snowshoeing: an activity for nature lovers!
Unlike most high-altitude winter activities, which focus on speed and thrills, snowshoe outings invite you to 'take it easy', literally and figuratively, for a few hours.
During a walk, participants are invited to slow their pace and take the time to observe the wonders that surround them. These may be animal tracks in the snow, plants with medicinal properties, a remarkable bird species (golden eagle, etc.), and so much more!
Nevertheless, snowshoeing is a sport in its own right, as it strengthens the heart, abdominal muscles and leg muscles, while reducing stress. What's more, the feeling of freedom is total!
