SNOWSHOEING & WALKS   

Walking on the snow must be a pleasure, free from worries and without hurry. So that you can really enjoy the physical and mental benefits of a walk on the snow, without it being too tiring or worrying, we have selected some twenty routes that we undertake to keep groomed and well-signposted throughout the winter. All the trails are marked by a sign like this one and all you need to do is choose the one best suited to your abilities and level of fitness. You can walk them on foot or, even better, with snow shoes. 

Let us give you some useful tips, before we leave you to have fun organising your excursion:

• choose an excursion suited to your technical and physical abilities, the snow and weather conditions, the type of slope and its exposure. Check the weather forecast and the avalanche bulletin;
• if possible, never set off alone and in any case, always tell a relative or a friend the route you intend to follow;
• your equipment is important: as well as snow shoes, take with you ice traction cleats, poles, glasses, sun cream, dried fruit or chocolate, and a hot drink in a thermos. You should always also take the following personal safety devices with you: an ARTVA, shovel and probe;
• wear comfortable warm clothing, gloves, a hat, and hiking boots (moonboots are not suitable at all for this activity!)
• remember that you are a guest of nature, so stay on the marked trails, do not run after wild animals, respect the silence of the woods and take your rubbish home with you.
