Snowshoeing
- winter trekking
Usually, when we speak about Bariloche, winter
and snow, we think about snowboard or skiing. Almost everybody thinks
of Alpine skiing. A more reduced group thinks about Nordic skiing
and just a very few, those more free spirited, about cross-country
skiing. All these sports require a good amount of technical skill,
appropiate physical conditions and expensive gear. The mountains
that surround Bariloche feature beautiful lenga forests, splendid
valleys and spectacular ridges unknown to the vast majority of tourists
that visit us.
Due to the technical limitations just mentioned, or perhaps to
the curiosity of exploring those mountains you see from Catedral
Ski Centre or simply because you want to have a go at something
different, the fact is that the amount of winter trekking followers
of all ages, using snowshoes, keeps on growing over the years.
A beginner needs no more than half an hour to learn how to walk
properly with snowshoes. Their easy accessibility, makes Mount
Otto forests and Challhuaco Creek Valley perfect sites for our first
experiences. However as said before, snowshoes free us from
following fixed trails and routes, all you need is snow. So be welcomed
to winter trekking. The snowy forests and the freedom of choosing
your way are waiting for you.
