Can any one recomend any decent snowshoes for a teenage boy. Price is not really a big factor. Would be used walking around the ski village

@HanageTo, decathlon (at least in France) sell reasonable snowshoes cheaply. I haven't seen anyone walking round a ski village with snowshoes on. Chains on shoes however are common, mrs jbob uses yak tracks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We went snowshing for the first time last week, on basic Decathlon shoes. It was great - on an indifferent skiing day, it was much better to get out by ourselves on some of the local tracks. I'm definitely a convert.

Hi, Decathlon certainly sell a range of snowshoes, their own brand plus the biggest French brand TSL. Au Vieux Campeur also sell a large range too. You can get a good TSL pair for c. Euro 100.
The great advantage is that, if you want, you can get off the local tracks and explore where you want in areas away from the ski runs. Just had a great day out with people from Pralognan out just past Prioux and got to see some chamois.

@HanageTo, whatever he normally wears. Most of the seasonnaire kiddies wear skate shoes.

Normal shoes are generally fine but waterproof and good tread is better. I tend to headwear skate shoes and, as long as there isn't too much snowfall they're fine.
