Hiking can enhance a skiing holiday
Hiking is one of the ways that skiers can enhance a holiday in the Alps without adding any extra expense to their break, according to a skiing expert.
In an article in The Times, donning hiking boots from the likes of Ecco, Merrell or Caterpillar in between zipping or stumbling round the slopes can greatly improve a skiing experience.
Writing in the newspaper, Sean Newsom says getting away from the lift system can greatly improve your skiing, something which can be done by swapping skis for hiking boots
"Whether or not you say yes to that particular proposition depends on how fit you are – struggling up steep slopes, at high altitude, with skis or a board on your back can be a rude shock to the system," writes Mr Newsom.
He added: "But if you can hack it, it brings enormous satisfaction. There's nothing quite like paying for your turns with your own sweat."
If you are a hiker then you will need suitable footwear which balances durability with comfort.
Appropriate shoes and boots from the likes of Caterpillar, Ecco and Merrell can be found here at Fitness Footwear.
