If your cardio isn’t the best or you are worried that on a big group snowshoe walk you might be holding everyone back, then this walk is right up your street. It’s designed for beginners and we’ll walk slowly. It’s not really designed with any destination in mind, it’s designed just so you experience walking in snow with snowshoes. Whether we walk 500 metres or a couple of kilometres, it all depends on how you are feeling on the day. It’s super laid back. We walk through some beautiful scenery “off the beaten track” using snow shoes. This is the best way of viewing the beautiful scenery in the local area. As there aren’t many roads here, to get the best views, you must get “off road”. We trek through some of the local forests with stunning views across the area and looking north you are looking across the Finnmark fells of Norway. It’s quite a slow pace and quite easy going terrain, so anyone with at least an average level of fitness can come along, you can also use hiking poles to aid balance. We have a few different routes we can take, depending on your level of fitness, which we can figure out on the day. The general rule we use is if you can walk around Ikea for an hour, you will be fine snowshoeing. We stop often for little rests too, it’s a lovely walk, nothing too strenuous. We have had people with replacement hips, with neurological disorders and all manners of disabilities join us on our snowshoe walks and they have all loved it. So what are you waiting for? Come and play in the snow with us!
