Discover Snowshoeing Series

Start snowshoeing with a lecture to teach you the basics, and then three weeks of snowshoeing to put it into practice!

This introductory course includes the Introduction to Snowshoeing lecture, and three snowshoe hikes of progressing difficulty.

This series is ideal for people who are new to snowshoeing.

Series 1, 2, 4, and 6 each consist of a level 1 trip, then a level 2 trip, then a level 3 trip.
Series 3 (January) is a gentler start, with an easy level 1 trip followed by a more difficult level 1 trip, and finishing with a level 2.
Series 5 (February) is a quicker start for people already in great shape, starting with our most difficult level 1 trip, followed by a level 3, and finishing with a fairly difficult level 3.

Includes: introductory lecture, snowshoes, van transportation for the first week, and experienced guide.
