All the historians who have made research on the origin of the snowshoe agree in saying that it is the North American Indians, mainly in Eastern Canada, who have perfected the prehistoric snowshoe to finally give us the traditional wooden snowshoe we still manufacture today. It is the direct ancestor of the modern snowshoe made of an aluminium frame or composite materials.

GV Snowshoes, established in 1959 and whose factory and head office are located in the Huron Wendat Reserve (Québec Province, Canada), is the only manufacturer in the world which uses the two new snowshoe technologies along with the various wooden models, in the ancestral traditional spirit.
