Rent easy to use snowshoes in Oulu

Rent snowshoes in Oulu! Retkivuokraamo offers for rent high quality Anar Hiking II and Tubb Journey- snowshoes. Snowshoes allow the user to stay on the surface of the snow due to their large surface area and thus enable the user to freely move in the snow. Spikes at the bottom of the shoes give more grip in icy ground or uphill slopes. With snowshoes you are able to move in places which could be tricky to travel with skis. Thick, snowy forests, steep hills or icy mountain trails are no match for in these shoes. The snowshoes are light and small, so they are easy transport in a car, ahkio or a large backpack.

When choosing the right snowshoe, one must take in account the terrain and the persons size. The heavier the user, the bigger shoes are needed. Terrain takes a significant role in choosing the right snowshoe. The longer trek you are about to take, the larger the snowshoes must be, for the less the user will sink in the snow, the lighter is the journey, too. Larger shoes are needed in a more powdery snow. In hard, packed snow and in shorter travels, smaller shoes are more convenient. 

All snowshoe rentals include Peltonen Metsä -ski poles (125-160cm), Viking Teho -telescopic ski poles (110-145cm) tai TSL Semnoz XL aluminum telescope poles( 135- 155 cm).
