Snowshoeing in the Dolomities
by Mario Dibona - Guide Alpine Cortina

Snowshoeing is the natural and logical progression from summer walking. This splendid and simple activity opens up an enchanting kingdom of snow-covered mountains, and these unforgettable itineraries take you right to the heart of nature’s best.

Snowshoeing needs no hard-learned technique or particular physical prerequisites, and this is perhaps the reason for its steadily increasing popularity. One thing is true though: walking with snowshoes can at first feel awkward and cumbersome, but one soon gets used to these wide and very special “foot extensions”. A word of warning: alpine experience is absolutely fundamental on some itineraries, as they cross varying types of snow and slopes.
