Throughout the winter months snow is plentiful and with some great trails offering magical scenery, snowshoers will find this a wonderful destination. Furthermore, snowshoers of every level of experience will find sufficient trails to meet their desires and needs.
Nearly everyone is a little nervous or intimidated when trying out a new sport. Snowshoeing, however, is a sport that anyone can enjoy on your first time out. Now you're ready for your first snoeshoeing adventure?

We can offer showshoeing tours during December to May (as long as there's at least 4 inches snow on the ground). Snowshoeing is a great activity and when you have a pair of them, there're no more excuses for not getting out and enjoying winter.
We have snowshoes available from well know makes such as Tubbs, Salomen and Camp. Hire costs are included in the tour guided prices.
