Come experience a snowy wonderland. A snowshoe hiking tour to let you observe nature in the winter forest.
Put on snowshoes and go with your guide to explore Amihari Forest, blanketed in white. You'll observe lots of natural detail along the way, like the winter buds of the trees waiting for spring and the various bark patterns of the trees. The course also gives you the chance to encounter the Mother Tree nestled deep in the forest, which is only accessible when there is enough snow. Those new to snowshoeing and those with children are also welcome. Enjoy a slow snow experience that will give you a break from fast-paced skiing or snowboarding.
