We travel on snowshoes to discover the forest in winter. Slowly and gently, we walk in silence among the trees, the Firs, the Spruces, the Beeches. We deeply feel the winter environment hibernating in its colder months, and take a good look at nature while sleeping. The forest is a magical place in winter with snow crystals, flakes, snow shapes, animal tracks and birds. Come and experience the magic and recharge your batteries.
Come & have a whole day out in the snow. We stop for plenty of breaks, look for wildlife & will head up to a col or pass for spectacular snowy views. Snowshoes & poles provided.

If you're already an intermediate or advanced skier, why not venture beyond the pistes with an introduction to ski touring. Using specialist equipment we can ascend into the less-explored areas around the Portes du Soleil. Introductory sessions are held on multiple afternoons throughout the week. Private excursions are also available on request.
