Snowshoe Hiking
Tour overview
Snowshoe hiking! A different winter hiking experience.
We startย our snowshoe hiking at the Deffner Shelter in the base of Gerontovrachos ski center at an altitude of 1.800 m. Weย walk in snowy trails enjoying the peace and tranquility of the mountain all dressed in white, feeling like we are floating in the snow. Moving through the forest we keep our eyes and ears open and observe the wildlife that hides in the snow. The scenery will alternate between alpine and forest environment. On days with clear weather, we will have a great view over the Corinthian Gulf and the imposing Peloponnese mountains. For families with young kids, we can propose an alternative โlight fun hikeโ combining snowshoe hiking for adults and sledges for kids. If you are interested feel free to contact us and we will create the prefect activity for your and your family.
Highlights:
- Enjoy walking on the snow
- Beautiful Mt. Parnassos winter forest area
- Unique view on the Corinthian Gulf
Another exciting and active experience for your family and friends is our Relaxing Hike & Picnic – Mt. Parnassos National Park program! Join us for some fun and activity in the mountain and create valuable fo lifetime memories!
