Frequently Asked Questions

Snowshoeing is a winter walking activity that allows you to explore snowy landscapes without sinking into deep snow. You use lightweight frames (snowshoes) worn over normal walking boots, which spread your weight and make walking on snow comfortable and natural. The movement is very similar to regular walking, so it’s easy to learn and suitable for beginners.
Snowshoeing is often done on quiet forest paths, alpine meadows and mountain trails, making it a peaceful alternative to skiing. It doesn’t require technical skills or lifts, and is ideal for people who enjoy walking and want to experience the mountains in winter at a relaxed, scenic pace.

No previous experience is needed for this snowshoeing holiday. We have a range of routes to suit all abilities, with 4 optional guided snowshoeing excursions included in the holiday. A reasonable level of fitness and a love of the outdoors are more important than technical skills, making snowshoeing a great alternative to skiing.

Snowshoeing is similar to hill walking, but can feel more demanding due to snow conditions and winter clothing. Our snowshoeing holiday is designed for regular walkers who are comfortable walking for 3-5 hours a day at a steady pace. In the Val Aurina, routes often follow gentle valley paths and forest trails, with options for higher-level walks for those seeking more of a challenge.

The Val Aurina is ideal for snowshoeing thanks to its quiet valleys, high snow reliability and unspoilt alpine scenery. Located in the South Tyrol near the Austrian border, it offers a peaceful winter environment with well-marked trails, traditional villages and dramatic mountain views, away from the crowds of larger ski resorts.
