Snowshoeing (raquettes) has only lately become a well-known sport. However, since a few years this novelty is really expanding. More and more people of all ages practice snowshoeing, which demands little knowledge, but nevertheless requires quite intensive efforts. As fair weather is expected on Sunday (weather dependent), let's take advantage of the recent snowfalls and go walking on the snow with raquettes and enjoy the fresh mountain air in the area of Les Mosses.
