Snowshoe trekking involves walking around the snowy fields close to Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort. Even if you don't have a car, you can join the trek by meeting up right near the ski resort. This area is rich in nature and close to numerous ski resorts. Walking across the fluffy snowy fields on snowshoes as if floating will give you the feeling of being in another world. Why not try it out to take a break from the ski resort?
Northern Nagano Prefecture is an area where people have lived in close cooperation with nature. Therefore, you can access the great outdoors in a short time, and even on a simple half-day course, you can enjoy snowshoe hiking while looking at the Northern Alps and Niigata mountains when the weather is good. [Tour Schedule] ・8:30 (Morning Plan) / 12:30 (Afternoon Plan) Meet at Nozawa Onsen Tourist Information Center. After greetings and a brief explanation, move to the starting point in a guide vehicle. ・9:00 / 13:00 Snowshoe trekking begins. First, we will give a lecture on how to put on snowshoes and how to use the poles. Once you get used to it, you will start walking. Observe the traces of winter plants and animals, and walk leisurely while playing in the fluffy snow. If you have time, take a tea break and relax in nature. ・11:30 / 15:30 Tour ends. Return to the meeting place in the guide vehicle and disband. The estimated disbanding time is around 12:00 (Morning Plan) / 16:00 (Afternoon Plan).
Unlike skis and snowboards, snowshoeing requires no special training and can be easily handled by anyone. Even if you are wearing snowshoes for the first time, you can fully enjoy the mysterious feeling of floating while stepping on the fluffy snow. You will be surrounded by a sense of openness as you make your own footprints in the freshly fallen snow. Of course, walking in the fresh snow for a long time requires physical stamina, but if you get tired, you can enjoy it easily by walking in a single line while taking turns leading the way.
The meeting and disbanding points are within walking distance of the ski resort area so that even those who don't have a car can easily join the tour. Since it's a half-day tour, there's no need to worry about complicated transportation arrangements, so you can flexibly incorporate it into your travel plans when space becomes available! You can also rent snowshoes and poles for free! As long as you have clothes that you can move around in and the things you need, you can enjoy it easily.
