Snowshoeing

On Land

Snowshoeing is a winter activity that allows people to walk across deep snow using special shoes designed to distribute weight. The wide, flat design prevents the feet from sinking into the snow, making it easier to explore snowy landscapes. It’s a peaceful and enjoyable way to experience nature during the winter months.
