Do not let the winter stop you from hiking!!! Come and snowshoe in Horse Shoe Valley. There are more than 8km trails waiting for you. Enjoy the beautiful winter views while workout and burn some calories after this Holiday season. We will be snowshoeing at a moderate peace (3:00 km per hour), not too fast not too slow.

We enjoy our lunch in some spot in the middle of the trail, so pack some hot soup, coffee or tea.

The resort has a limited capacity for snowshoes rental, so it is better to bring your owns or rent in Toronto.

Come and have a lot of fun!!!!

We will leave horseshoe by 5 pm. and we will be back at Downsview around 6:30pm approximately.
