  • From the Zinal Glacier to the Swiss Jura Mountains: Exploring the High Alps on Snowshoes Exploring the High Alps on Snowshoes
    From the Zinal Glacier to the Swiss Jura Mountains: Exploring the High Alps on Snowshoes By Ian Spare itting here in Switzerland in the summer, the winter seems a long time ago. It's more than 30 degrees Celsius (that's 86 degrees Fahrenheit if you're in North America) and it's only 9 a.m. S So, a great way to cool down is to look back at some trips around Switzerland and let the snowy landscapes cool the room. I once made a comment on a Nordic skiing online forum about following a raquette track on skis for a short while. I got a confused reply telling me that raquette was French-Canadian for snowshoes, which the writer didn't think were used much outside North America. It turns out that raquettes is just a French word and one used here in the French speaking part of Switzerland. About 20 percent of the country would call snowshoes “la raquette à neige” (French). About 65 percent would say “Schneeschuhe” (German), while some 7 percent call them “racchette da neve” (Italian). I have no idea what the Romansh-speaking Swiss would say, and Google can't help me. When going snowshoeing in Switzerland, the country can be divided into regions. We have the Swiss Plateau, which is around 30 percent of the country and between 400 and 700 meters (1,300- 2,300 feet) high. Snow is scarce in this area. Although, it's possible to make the occasional trip, it’s better to look at higher ranges. The best known area is the Alps, of course: With a high point of 4810m (15,782 ft.) on Mont Blanc (France) and 82 peaks more than 4,000m (13,123 ft.) high.
