The activity.

Discover a different side of the mountains on a guided snowshoe walk with Oxyski. Accessible to all levels, explore peaceful winter trails, learn more about the local environment and enjoy the mountains away from the ski slopes. No previous experience needed – just wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air.

For everyone.
Being able to walk is enough, the pace adjusts to the group.
From two hours to a full day.
A walk, a half day, or an evening with fondue depending on the resort.
Snowshoes and poles provided.
Bring warm, waterproof walking boots.

The format and the length vary by resort: they are chosen at booking.

How it goes.

A small group, an instructor, and how a typical outing unfolds.

Setting off
Snowshoes adjusted, a few steps to find the footing, and you leave the resort by a path nobody sees.
The forest
Silence, tracks in the snow, the instructor naming what you see. A gentle climb.
The clearing
A pause facing the summits, a hot drink, a photo. Then the descent, which always goes faster.

Good to know.

What is included
An instructor to lead the way. Snowshoes and poles where the resort provides them.
What to bring
Your skis or snowboard, a helmet, a lift pass valid on the day, and warm clothing. Your resort's Ski Shop rents the rest.
The weather decides
The outing is confirmed the day before by message. If the mountain says no, a new date in the week first, a refund otherwise.
If you have to cancel
Free of charge up to 48 hours before the outing, then as per the terms and conditions.

What if the weather turns?
