Sneeuwschoen wandeling

Johnny_v, Feb 2023

Vriendelijke gids maar wij vonden de tour van ongeveer 2 km erg kort. Dus met 45 min waren we wel klaar met sneeuwschoen wandelen. Voor ons niet voor herhaling vatbaar

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hello! Thank you for your review. We appreciate it a lot. The normal duration for snowshoeing experience for this tour is around 45 minutes to 1 hour (the whole trip around 3 hours which includes the pick-up, drop-off services and winter overall changing), but if you want to make it a bit longer you can request it when you make your booking or you can ask the guide during the tour. We always try to make it suitable for different customers and some changes might be possible if you let us know. And of course if you would like to have the 3-4hours snowshoeing experience, we suggest that you could book another tour with us which is around 6-7 hours. We wish you all the best!

Une agreable petit balade guidée par Franck qui etait tres sympa et qui nous a fait marché a coté des sentiers😊. Petite pause autour du feu où l'on pu faire cuire les saucisses et boire du jus de baie! Tres bon moment, mais un peu court,( il faisait -26c)
