Winter should not mean the end to exploring the stunning scenery of the Alps. Using modern lightweight snowshoes and following a short instruction session with your guide there are endless trails to explore through forests, skirting glaciers and ascending mountain slopes where the views will be more than worth the effort. During the five days of snowshoeing over mixed terrain, the carefully chosen excursions will ensure you gain a true appreciation of the sport and experience the highlights of the Mont Blanc region. Returning each night to our comfortable gîte (mountain cottage), relax by the fire and enjoy the traditional alpine cuisine. Also available is a combination snowshoe, thermal spa experience in St Gervais with 5 treatments spread over 3 sessions during the week.
