Raquetas de nieve

With the cold of winter comes snow and we tend to seclude ourselves at home in the warmth of the bonfire. But for mountain lovers, the arrival of the first snow is a joy to see the new white images of the valleys and snow-capped peaks. Going hiking in the snow is difficult, anyone who has ever tried it will know that it is not easy to walk through one meter of snow and not end up wet and tired after five minutes without having advanced no more than twenty meters. Therefore, thanks to snowshoes, mountain trekking continues when the snow covers everything, and with them we continue enjoying our journeys through the mountains throughout the winter. Snowshoes increase the contact surface of your boots on the snow and allow you to walk without sinking up to your knees in virgin snow.<br/>As for the method of use, it really is not complicated at all. You have to get used to walking with “feet” that are wider than normal, and try not to get stuck, raising your feet a little more.<br/>Cantabria Activa organizes trekking and hiking routes through the mountains of Cantabria. The outings are always carried out with a mountain guide and/or rental of the necessary equipment such as snowshoes and poles. Snowshoes allow you to discover inaccessible areas and impressive landscapes. We show you where and how to do it. The Picos de Europa mountains. The forests of the Saja Reserve. The Peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains, etc.
