Snowshoe day hike – January / February 2025

Winter has begun to make its mark, with beautiful snowfalls as far down as the plains. It’s high time to start thinking about the snowshoeing season! Would you like to explore the Jura or the Pre-Alps, discover animal tracks, hike through snow-covered forests and get an introduction to avalanche transceivers?

 

A number of dates are proposed for January and February 2025, with more to be added as the season progresses.

 

Off-piste snowshoeing requires the use of winter safety kit (avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel). It’s important that all participants know how to use them. So we’ll be taking advantage of this activity to give an introduction to how this equipment works and what it’s used for. Hiking off-piste also allows us to visit less-frequented areas, so it’s highly likely that we’ll be able to observe the tracks of wild animals, or perhaps even the animals themselves. 🙂
