Snow-Shoe Race
Snow shoes ease movement in the snow and were also commonly used in the past in many rural, snow-rich areas. The advantage of snow shoes is the larger surface area, which better distributes a persons´ weight and thus minimises sinking into the snow. In order to snow shoe one does not need previous knowledge nor a specific technique, if you can run you can also snow shoe.

Modern Use

Nowadays, snow shoes are seen by many as sports equipment and outdoor-friends have discovered it as an attractive alternative to classical ski touring. Many Alpine peaks, which can be climbed on a ski tour, can also be reached with snow-shoes without any problems.

Many groups, families and even managers enjoy the exercise of this outdoor sport; one can reduce stress and relax from monotonous everyday life.
