Snowshoes: These are specially designed to carry you safely through the snow and prevent you from sinking in.
Hiking poles: Helpful for keeping your balance, especially on steeper terrain.
Warm, waterproof clothing: Layered clothing is ideal to be able to react flexibly to changes in the weather.
Sturdy, warm footwear: Hiking boots or waterproof winter boots are ideal to keep your feet warm and dry.

beginners: Gentle routes through flat or slightly hilly terrain, ideal for anyone trying snowshoeing for the first time.
Adventurers: More challenging day trips with steeper terrain for a more intense winter experience.
Group trips: Perfect for team-building events or group outings with friends or family.

What kind of snowshoeing are offered?

There is a wide range of snowshoeing, from easy guided tours to more challenging adventures. Here are some of the sub-categories you can choose from:

Guided snowshoeing for beginners: These tours are ideal for beginners and take you through easily accessible terrain, often with a guide who will give you helpful tips.

What shoes should I wear for snowshoeing?

Sturdy shoes that are waterproof and well lined are ideal for snowshoeing. Hiking boots or special winter boots with a sturdy tread are perfect for optimum traction in both snow and slippery conditions. Since snowshoes are pulled over your regular shoes, your shoes should fit comfortably and not be too loose to prevent slipping.

How challenging is a snowshoeing?

That depends entirely on the route and your fitness level. Basically, snowshoeing is a moderate sporting activity. Beginner tours in particular are designed to be manageable for most people. However, more challenging routes with inclines require a little more stamina. Snowshoeing can therefore range from relaxed walks to real physical challenges - depending on how much you want to push yourself.

Planning a snowshoeing as a team event

A snowshoeing is also a great way to organize a team event. Not only does it promote a sense of community, it also allows you to explore nature together and strengthen team spirit. To plan a successful tour, consider the following tips:

Choose a suitable route: The tour should suit the fitness and experience of the group.
Organization: Take over or delegate the organization of equipment and food.
Strengthen the sense of community: Games and joint tasks during the hike can promote teamwork.
