    What to bring
      • 🎒 What should you wear?
                 To make the most of your snowshoeing day in Lanín National Park, we recommend that you come prepared:
      • 🧥 Layered outerwear and rainwear
                 Dress in layers to adapt to changes in temperature. The important thing is to keep your body dry and warm while walking through the snow.
      • 👟 Waterproof trekking boots
                 Avoid common sneakers: ideal are hiking boots or waterproof shoes with good grip to move safely on the snow.
      • 🧤 Gloves, hat and scarf
                 You will be walking in cold and humid areas. These thermal accessories make the difference between a pleasant and an uncomfortable exit.
      • 🕶️ Sunglasses and sunscreen
                 Even if it's cloudy, snow reflects light and can damage your eyes or skin. Protect yourself for hassle-free enjoyment.
      • 📷 Camera or cell phone with a charged battery
                 You're going to want to capture more than one postcard of this unique landscape. If it snows, a waterproof cover is a good idea.
      • 💧 Reusable water bottle
                 You can hydrate in shelters, but carrying your own bottle is practical for hikes.
      • 💡 Tip extra : If you're cold, bring an extra set of socks and a thin blanket for breaks in the shelter. Comfort makes the experience even more pleasant.
      • ✍️ With everything ready, all that remains is to take the first step... and let the white mountain tell you its secrets.
