Snowshoeing In Bosnia

Reality Check

The difficulty of this trip depends very much on the snow conditions, and our final route will be dictated by the conditions, altough in general you should expect the following: Grade: B/C Altitude gain: between 200-600 metres ascent on most days. Some of the ascents are quite steep, snowshoes can be removed if necessary.

Walking time will usually be around four to six hours walking, plus photo, lunch and snack breaks; the longest day is up to 8 hours. Distance walked: averages about 7 kms (4.5 miles) but will feel longer in the snow.

Activity details and risk of injury All active winter holidays involve some element of risk; from something as normal as slipping on icy pavements, to the possibility of injuries sustained as a result of the activities themselves. While we do all we can to minimize any dangers, participants must be prepared to accept some risk as part of the holiday.

Mountain snowshoeing We have chosen to categorize this holiday as 'Mountain snowshoeing'. This is described as: taking place in mountainous terrain, but where we restrict travel to areas considered to have low or non-existent avalanche risk. In certain extreme conditions avalanches may become a risk in areas generally considered to be safe, and standard walks may have to be re-routed, replaced or cancelled. Each day the leader will carefully assess the situation and choose the route according to current conditions and those forecast, with the overriding priority being group safety. Our leaders are required not to proceed with any proposed route (including those mentioned in brochure or trip notes) if they believe the risk to be unacceptable.

NB: Snowshoes are adaptable to fit most trekking boot sizes. However, if you wear larger than UK size 12 boots (US13 or EU47) please let us know at the time of booking. We will then be able to confirm if we can provide suitable snowshoes for you.
