For your snowshoe tour in the Aletsch Arena, you should ideally use poles and winter walking shoes, or at least sturdy shoes that keep your feet warm. We recommend waterproof trousers, thermal underwear and otherwise several thin layers (the ‘onion principle’), also ensuring that your head and hands are adequately protected from the cold. Ski trousers are not as ideal for snowshoeing, because walking is a strenuous activity and you warm up faster than when skiing.
