Ramblers Worldwide Holidays - Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Forget any ideas of walking on tennis rackets – modern snow shoes are high-tec and light. You can learn how to use them in a few minutes and then, with your weight evenly spread, you can explore areas of the mountains out of bounds to skiers.
Some skiers spend years trying to get off the piste and out into the quiet of the winter mountains but never quite manage it. Sometimes the answer is so simple it’s hard to believe: just ditch the skis, strap on a pair of snowshoes, and walk. Leave the village behind and never look back. Instant silence. The snow is thick on the ground, so thick that only the top of the alm hut roof peeks out. It’s just you, the birds, and an empty white mountain. The only sound is the crunch of snow shoes over the fresh snow. A very occasional skier crosses your path but they are gone in an instant. Blissful - this is a winter wonderland as nature intended it.

We have chosen 3 centres with a good snow record and excellent moderately graded snowshoeing possibilities. You just need warm winter walking gear, including walking boots – we supply snowshoes, snow poles and any other equipment. We believe that snowshoeing is the perfect exciting winter complement to our summer Alpine programme.
 

If you'd like to try Snowshoeing, then we have 3 centres to choose from: Bach in the Lechtal in the northern Tirol of Austria, St Zyprian in the Dolomites of Italy and Beaufortain in the Rhone - Alps of France.

What do I need ?

A pair of good walking boots, warm socks and your usual walking gear are all you need, all the other equipment is provided.
