★What is a snowshoe experience?★ It is an experience of walking on snow wearing "Western snowshoes" that allow you to easily walk on deep snow that is difficult to walk on with shoes. By spreading the surface area of the sole of your foot, your weight is distributed and you are less likely to sink into the snow, making it easier to walk around. When you hear "snowshoeing," many people think of mountain climbing, but our experience is a snowshoeing experience that takes you a little way from the slopes into nature! Even those who are not physically fit can enjoy it ♪ Depending on the snow conditions, you can sled down the slopes! Run through the snow fields! Jump into the snow! Why not leave the slopes and enter nature to try snowshoeing? [Reservation period] December 24th to March 28th (planned) [Experience time] ① 10:00-11:30 ② 13:00-14:30 ③ 15:00-16:30 [Price] 8 years old and above: 4,500 yen per person [Target age] 8 years old and above [Time required] Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes [Access method] 5 minutes from Yuzawa IC, 12 minutes walk from Echigo Yuzawa Station, 3 minutes by shuttle bus from Echigo Yuzawa Ekimae Bus Stop
