Snowshoeing FAQ

Yes, most of our guests are first-timers. We help you put the snowshoes on and show you how to use them. Walking is quite easy — it feels like normal walking with poles. If you follow the tracks made by the guide, the snow is firm and walking feels light. Walking in deep snow or uphill is more challenging.

Anyone with a strong walking ability can join. The tours are beginner-friendly and suitable for most people in normal physical condition. If you are overweight or have balance issues, it may be more challenging.

Snowshoeing is an easy way to walk on snow without sinking deep. In light powder snow you will sink, but snowshoes give extra surface area and grip, making winter walking comfortable.

Snowshoeing allows you to explore quiet winter landscapes and deep snow areas that you cannot reach without snowshoes. It is peaceful, relaxing, and a great way to enjoy nature.

National Park Tour: 4–5 km, elevation +50 m
Levi Tour: 3–4 km, elevation +30–40 m

The distance feels longer than normal hiking, because the walking speed is slower. Average snowshoeing speed is 2–3 km/h.

We walk slowly and take breaks whenever needed. The guide always adjusts the speed to the group. We also stop often to take photos and enjoy the views.

Wear waterproof winter boots with warm insulation and good ankle support. Winter hiking boots or snow boots with wool socks work well.

Avoid sneakers or light hiking shoes — they get wet and cold quickly. We offer gaiters so snow will not enter your shoes.

Snowshoeing has a long history. Snowshoes were invented thousands of years ago by northern and Arctic peoples who needed to travel across deep snow for hunting and daily life. Early snowshoes were made from wood frames and animal hide, spreading weight over a larger area to prevent sinking. Modern snowshoes are lighter and stronger, but the idea is still the same.
