Snowshoe hiking is a method of snow traversing that has been around since the times of ancient mountain dwellers. What makes sets modern people apart from them is that we are somewhat less sturdy than our ancestors and that our snowshoes, which are becoming a popular tool for exploration of otherwise inaccessible winter scenery, are lighter and more functional. Thanks to snowshoes, one can reach numerous quiet winter shelters around Bovec, Trenta and Log pod Mangartom.
