Winter is no reason to give up hiking. On the contrary, snowy landscapes and fresh air offer a unique experience. However, walking in the cold requires taking care of your feet: poor preparation can quickly turn a magical walk into a real ordeal. Here are our tips to fully enjoy your winter outings.
Choose the right shoes and socks
Comfort starts with your footwear. In winter, opt for waterproof and insulated shoesto keep your feet dry and warm, with a good non-slip sole, suitable for slippery terrain.
When it comes to socks: merino wool is ideal for its warmth and moisture-wicking properties.
On very cold days, layering a thin pair under a thicker pair can provide a mild thermoregulating effect.
