The new generation of cosmic ray surface detectors is going to provide a real chance for high-energy neutrino astronomy, which will represent an open window on both astrophysical mechanisms of particle acceleration and fundamental interactions. The possibility to detect neutrinos in large earth-based apparatus requires the capability of generating reliable simulations of neutrino induced air showers. The recent developments in this direction will be briefly summarized.
