My latest assignment was a fortnight working for Plas y Brenin in the French Pyrenees. The course was held at the chalet run by Altitude Adventure leaders Ian and Angela Pendry in the Font Romeu region of the French Pyrenees, this really was the perfect location for this course, with masses of soft powder making snowshoes the logical kit for exploring woodland and crossing frozen lakes.
All the candidates were well prepared and the assessment results showed this. For longer journeys I prefer to travel by skis but for exploring the woods in search of wildlife, snowshoes are the perfect means of travel. It's also pleasant to be wearing comfortable boots. Certainly worth considering also for approaches to ice climbs.
