Additional details on the event:
The recent snowfall has completely blanketed the entire mountain range in white. We propose a group snowshoeing experience for those who wish to connect with the fascinating winter environment. Participants will use an ancient tool for their journey: snowshoes.
There are numerous areas and locations accessible by snowshoes, offering breathtaking and unique panoramas. The proposed locations for the various itineraries are listed below. The actual snow cover will ultimately determine the best area for the planned activity. However, the hypothetical routes outlined below can also be completed without any issues in cases of limited snowfall.
