What is snowshoeing anyway?

The first snow has fallen…

Snow is one of the most beautiful gifts of winter because it is so pure, white, light and fluffy. Even if it’s a hassle for adults when they need to get out and about in the car, it’s always a joy for our little ones. And it is their joy that awakens the child in the adult world. Despite the fact that winter days are shorter, the snow makes them all the brighter and our days are filled with adventures such as sledding and skiing, making snowmen, snowball fights or simply rolling on the soft white carpet.

What about snowshoes, are you familiar with them?

Many people love mountaineering, but because of the different seasons, they tend to do it in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, however, they may give up due to lack of equipment. However, to help you hike without slipping or losing traction in the snow, snowshoes are here to help you hike even in winter.

Snowshoes have been known in Slovenia since the time of Valvasor, who was the first to define them in Slovenia, but they have been somewhat forgotten with the advent of different types of skis. Simply slip the snowshoes on your walking boots, tighten them, grip the walking poles and you’re ready for an idyllic winter walk. And of course, don’t forget warm and waterproof hiking clothes, leggings, winter gloves, a hat and goggles to protect your eyes from the white light and the sun.

In the current situation, a break in a winter idyll is best suited to your own arrangements. Nature offers many activities in all conditions, but to make snowshoeing easier, get your snowshoes, which are easily available nowadays, and use them to keep the historical tradition alive.

When the current situation improves a bit, we will be happy to invite you to join us for a fun and active CROSSING. We will hike along Golte, Smrekovec or Lepenatka. We also offer you the opportunity to HIKE OUR WINGS, where you climb the peaks yourself.

The activity is suitable for everyone, young and old, families and friends.

In the hope to see you again soon, we send you a playful winter greeting!
