Inside the experience
The sound of snow beneath your feet, crisp mountain air and trails crossing an otherwise silent landscape.
This excursion offers the chance to discover the Swiss Alps in winter, walking on snowshoes through quiet areas away from the crowds.
The route is selected based on snow conditions and may cross snow-covered forests, open clearings and small frozen streams.
Thanks to the wide surface of snowshoes, you can move with greater stability even on soft snow, reaching places that are difficult to access in regular footwear.
The guide accompanies the group, demonstrates the correct technique and adapts the pace to the terrain conditions and the participants.
After about an hour of walking, there is a short break to recharge with a hot drink and a snack while taking in the surrounding views.
The second part of the excursion continues along quiet trails to the starting point, maintaining a relaxed and steady pace.
How it works
The experience begins by meeting the guide and receiving the necessary equipment.
Each participant receives snowshoes, poles and, if necessary, suitable winter boots.
After a brief introduction, the group reaches the starting point of the excursion with a transfer of approximately 20 minutes.
Once there, the guide explains how to put on the snowshoes, use the poles and move safely on soft snow.
The excursion lasts approximately between 1 hour and 30 minutes and 2 hours.
The route winds through forests, clearings and snowy landscapes, with stops at the most scenic and interesting points.
After about an hour, there is a short break with hot tea and a snack.
Once the route is complete, the group returns to base with a transfer of approximately 20 minutes and returns the equipment.
Ideal for
The experience is ideal for anyone wishing to discover the winter landscape of the Alps through a slow-paced and immersive activity.
It is suitable for couples, families, groups of friends and anyone who wants to get away from the more crowded resorts.
The introductory explanation makes the excursion accessible even to those who have never used snowshoes before.
However, a normal level of fitness is required, suitable for approximately two hours of walking in the snow.
