Scheduled Departures
Snowshoeing is ideal for people who walk on a regular basis and who want to experience the mountains in winter without needing to be a mountaineer or skier.
We know that finding a friend with a similar sense of adventure is not always easy and that joining a group can be the best way to find ready-made companions.
With this in mind we are offering two quite different snowshoe holidays. We have a long weekend making a snowshoe journey, or safari, through the mountains in the beautiful Vaud region of Switzerland and a week of day trips based in the stunning area around Mont Blanc in the world famous Chamonix Valley, in France.
Mont Blanc Snowshoe
This 8 day trip is aimed at those who are regular summer hill walkers and used to spending a full day in the mountains. You do not need previous snowshoe experience, but you do need a good level of fitness and be prepared to snowshoe off-piste!
The world famous Chamonix Valley in the French Alps is a good base from which to explore the valleys and peaks in the Mont Blanc Massif. With Switzerland and Italy each just a 30 minute drive away it allows us to experience three different cultures in just as many days. We prefer not to specify where we will walk each day, but have given a possible itinerary below. Your guide will make a daily decision based on weather and snow conditions.
- Enjoy stunning views of the Mont Blanc range
- Experience a night in the famous Grand St Bernard Monastery
- All equipment hire included in price
- Make fresh tracks in virgin snow - tread where others have still to go!
Swiss Snowshoe Safari
If you want to get a real sense of making a journey across the alpine landscape in winter then join us for a snowshoe walk between the Swiss villages of Leysin and Château-d'Oex. We make our way from village to village on snowshoes, while your luggage is transported to the next location.
If you enjoy walking in summer, and would now like to experience a winter wonderland then these 5 day trips are ideal. You do not need previous snowshoeing experience.
Your guide will make a daily decision based on weather and snow conditions which could mean we have to adapt our plans.
- Make a journey over the winter landscape
- Enjoy views of snow clad peaks and forests
- Experience what it's like to create fresh tracks in powder snow
- All equipment hire included in price
Chamonix Snowshoe and Ski
This 8 day trip is especially suited to those who are regularly active and would like to experience a winter wonderland on both skis and snowshoes. It is aimed at those of you who have little or no cross country skiing or snowshoe experience. Both activities are very easy to pick up and enjoy in a week.
The world famous Chamonix Valley in the French Alps is a good base from which to explore the alpine valleys and plateaus of the Mont Blanc Massif. With Switzerland and Italy each just a 30 minute drive away it allows us to experience three different cultures in just as many days.
- Learn to cross country ski in both skate and classic technique on both Swiss & Italian snow
- Snowshoe peaks around Mont Blanc
- Ski along an Italian Valley, then snowshoe to a remote mountain hut for the night
