Ski-raquette (Ski-Hok)

Ski-Snowshoe Trail Map

Equipment required

To be expected:

• Day pass
• Helmet (strongly recommended)
• Ski goggles or sunglasses to protect your eyes
• Warm clothing, extra socks and a change of clothes
• Choose multi-layer clothing with breathable fabrics
• Water and nutritious snacks

Equipment rental

Hok ski rental included:

• Hok skis with universal bindings. The binding is compatible with winter touring boots.
• Sticks

We have two sizes of Hok skis for rental:

The 125 cm Hok ski is the best snowshoe substitute. It's easy to control and use when the skier has less skiing experience. For general use and as a replacement for snowshoes, the 125 cm is more suitable.

The 145 cm Hok ski has a little more "ski DNA" and is more suited to those who want to use the Hoks in a more downhill fashion. The 145 cm has a little more glide and offers more flotation for deep snow and taller skiers.
