Abstract
A snowshoe that includes a support piece for the user's foot which extends transversely within the frame of the snowshoe and which allows the foot to pivot in order to ease walking. The support piece is elastically suspended within the frame by attachment elements connecting it to the sides of the frame. The support piece can thus be lowered in its entirety depending on the direction and/or the value of the weight to which it is subjected transversely with respect to the snowshoe while remaining substantially horizontal. The snowshoe as disclosed is particularly intended for traversing along a sloped terrain.
