However, for safety reasons, a basic understanding of the mountain and snow conditions is essential. Snowshoes are available online relatively cheaply, starting at around 50 euros per pair. Choose a model that fits your winter boots, making sure to choose the right size that corresponds to your body weight and shoe size.
