Snow shoe walking is an amateur, non-professional winter activity that involves walking across snow-covered terrain using wide-foot snow shoes to spread weight and improve stability. It is typically done at a steady pace and is popular with travellers who want to explore winter landscapes without the speed or technical demands of skiing.
ActivitySure can cover recreational snow shoe walking when you are taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Although it is generally considered low impact, snow shoe walking often takes place in cold, remote environments where slips, fatigue or sudden weather changes can increase the risk of injury.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go snow shoe walking?
Snow shoe walking is particularly popular in Lapland, where marked trails pass through forests, frozen lakes and open tundra, offering a quieter way to experience Arctic landscapes during winter. The activity is also widely enjoyed in the Canadian Rockies, where national parks and mountain resorts provide designated snow shoe routes at varying difficulty levels. In the Pyrenees, snow shoe walking is often available as a guided activity, allowing walkers to explore alpine scenery away from busy ski pistes.
Many travellers take part as part of organised or guided walks, especially in unfamiliar terrain or more remote areas.
Here's why snow shoe walking travel insurance matters:
Snow shoe walking involves navigating uneven ground, deep snow and icy surfaces, which can lead to sprains, strains or falls. Cold temperatures and remote locations can also make access to medical care more complicated. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if you need treatment or assistance while snow shoe walking abroad.

- Follow all instructions provided by your guide, organiser or local authorities.

- Watch for hidden obstacles, such as rocks or uneven ground beneath the snow
- Take extra care near frozen lakes or rivers and be alert to signs of thin ice.
