How Many Calories Does Snowshoeing Burn?
Quick Answer: Snowshoeing burns approximately 300-600 calories per hour for a 155-pound person depending on intensity and terrain.
Snowshoeing is an excellent winter cardio workout that burns significant calories while allowing you to explore snowy landscapes. The resistance of walking through snow increases energy expenditure compared to regular walking.
