Introduction to snowshoeing

Based at our Hovringen hotel our snowshoeing courses are aimed at people who want to enjoy the winter landscape without clipping into a pair of skis. We schedule them in the second half of the season, when the snowpack should be consolidated and we should be able to go where we wish across the unbroken snow.

To enjoy these holidays you do not need any special skills, for snowshoeing is easy to learn. But you do need a reasonable level of fitness. We will be walking for about 6 hours each day and - weather permitting - on some days we will climb moderately strenuous peaks, gaining up to 500m on the way.

Good-quality modern snowshoes are included in the package. You need to bring sturdy leather walking boots with fairly stiff soles and you should also have gaiters.

This holiday is based at Oigardseter Fjellstue see where we stay >> for details on accommodation.
