Snowshoe Tours

As part of our series of other winter activities to take part in while you visit Snow Country, today's offering is snowshoeing.


Snowshoeing is another one of those activities that is suitable for almost anybody of any age. Snowshoes strap to your boots and increase the surface area of your footstep, allowing you to hike across the snow. This opens up a whole new world as you can head off into the woods to explore the beauty of the winter environment.

It is incredibly peaceful. All around you is white and quiet as you break trail deeper into nature. There is plenty of wildlife around and even if you don't see an animal you will definitely see their tracks. The guides are very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, as well as local legends, so will make sure you get the most out of your time in the snow.

Snow Country has a wealth of great snowshoeing locations, so no matter where you find yourself there is a good chance that there is a tour close by.

  1. Hi,

    This weekend I am going to Joetsu Kokusai for skiing. I am interested in snowshoeing in the area. Is there a company that offers half/full day tours in that area?

    Thank you,
    Aleaf
