To no one’s great surprise, snowshoeing is our favourite activity! Therefore, we fixed our choice on this one for today (and as a matter of fact, we have some snowshoes on sale in our online store). So here are just a few of its outstanding advantages on your general physical state:

• Global improvement not only of your endurance, but also of all the muscles in your body. The breath, the heart, the immune system, the balance, the motor coordination, even sleep; every ounce of your fitness condition will gain from it.
• Reduction of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, some cancers and more!
• Mental health benefits, such as filling you up with D vitamins (if the sun comes out) and getting back in touch with your inner self, thanks to the fresh mountain air. Physical exercises, combined with nature, certainly help to reduce stress and anxiety.
