Whether you are planning a relaxed family hike in the Jura, aiming for a challenging summit tour in the Alps, or simply heading out into the fresh powder snow right on your doorstep – with the right snowshoes, every winter adventure becomes a pleasure. Choose from lightweight models with simple strap bindings for flat terrain, or opt for robust backcountry snowshoes with aggressive climbing aids and high-quality spikes for steep slopes and deep snow.

Snowshoes by area of use

For leisurely winter walks on marked trails, lightweight beginner models with simple bindings that allow quick on and off are ideal. For extended day tours and hilly terrain, mid-weight all-round snowshoes with solid climbing aids and good grip are the right choice. Ambitious tourers and alpinists turn to backcountry models with maximum traction, crampon-like spikes and well-designed binding systems that provide reliable hold even in the steepest terrain and icy conditions. It is also worth looking at special women's and children's models that are ergonomically adapted to the respective anatomy.

Good care significantly extends the life of your snowshoes – after every tour, they should be cleared of snow and ice, stored dry, and the spikes checked occasionally for a secure fit.

Quality, safety & product selection

When buying snowshoes, it is worth paying attention to high-quality materials such as robust aluminium frames, durable plastic decks and reliable hardened steel spikes.

Pay attention to the manufacturer's recommended weight class so the snowshoes provide optimal floatation in the terrain.

Frequently asked questions

Which snowshoe size do I need for my body weight?▾

The right size depends on your total weight including equipment. Lighter individuals under 70 kg usually do well with 19–22 inches, people between 70 and 90 kg choose 22–25 inches, and heavier individuals above 90 kg should opt for 25–30 inches. When in doubt, go one size larger, as bigger snowshoes provide more floatation in deep snow.

What is the difference between beginner and professional snowshoes?▾

Beginner models are lighter, have simpler bindings, and are ideal for flat to slightly hilly terrain and marked winter hiking trails. Professional snowshoes feature more aggressive climbing aids, more robust materials, better spikes, and are designed for steep, challenging terrain and deep powder snow.

How do I choose the right binding for my snowshoes?▾

The binding should provide a secure hold and be easy to put on and take off. Simple strap bindings are sufficient for flat tours, while ratchet or BOA dial systems are recommended for alpine terrain, as they remain easy to operate even with gloves and ensure a precise fit.

Are snowshoes suitable for children?▾

Yes, many manufacturers such as Tubbs and TSL Outdoor offer special children's models that are lighter and have bindings tailored to smaller feet. This allows children from around four years of age to enjoy their first winter experiences on snowshoes and go exploring together with the family.

Which accessories are recommended for snowshoes?▾

Useful accessories include carrying bags, replacement bindings, climbing aids, gaiters, and suitable poles with large snow baskets. A small repair kit for on the go is also worthwhile, especially on longer tours, so you don't have to turn back in case of a defect.

How do I properly care for and store my snowshoes?▾

After every tour, snowshoes should be cleared of snow and ice and stored dry to avoid corrosion and material fatigue. Check the spikes and climbing aids occasionally for damage. In summer, store them in a cool, dry place to keep plastic parts from becoming brittle.

Can I use snowshoes for jogging or trail running?▾

Yes, special lightweight snowshoe models are also suitable for snowshoe running and trail running in winter. These models are more compact, have a sportier binding, and allow a more natural running style. Brands like Salomon and TSL Outdoor have developed their own series for this purpose.

Are snowshoes a good gift for outdoor enthusiasts?▾

Absolutely. Snowshoes make an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys being outdoors in winter – whether for leisurely family hikes, sporty tours, or as an introduction to winter sports. With matching accessories such as poles or a carrying bag, the gift becomes even more complete and ensures unforgettable winter experiences.
