Requests?

How do you behave in case of bad weather?

I've never been snowshoeing, can I participate?

If you are in good physical shape and have a minimum habit of walking in the mountains or doing sports in general you can participate.
Those with less experience can contact me so we can evaluate together whether the planned excursion is within their reach or not.

Is there a timetable to follow?

The goal of the excursion is to enjoy the day, also taking frequent breaks. Generally the excursions are organized in such a way that you do not have to keep a sustained pace, however it is more than recommended to be in good physical shape.

I don't have any equipment, is it possible to rent it?

Yes, it is possible to rent it, you just need to communicate this during the registration phase.

Do you need a 4x4 to get to the meeting point?

Generally it is not necessary to have a four-wheel drive car, however since it is a strictly winter activity it is advisable to have winter tires and snow chains on board since you may have to face climbs and descents on snow-covered roads.
