Maybe it’s the recession, maybe it’s the weakness of the pound against the euro, maybe it’s just because snowshoeing is the fastest growing winter sport, but we are seeing a lot of people opting for our week long snowshoeing courses this year. These courses have no ‘hidden extras’ as accommodation and cable cars are included in the course price which is just £499 for a seven day holiday with five days guiding. Also included is all the hire equipment; snowshoes, avalanche transceivers, snow shovels, probes, poles and boots.
