Being able to combine Italian coffee, food and hospitality with a healthy quantity of snowshoeing is my ideal week! So I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my week in Etroubles, near Aosta with the Austrian Alpine Club members. This is the second year that Tracks and Trails has guided a week of snowshoeing for Club members and as per last year I think I can say that a good time was had by all.

Whilst Lindsay traverses the Chablais on snowshoes with members of the Austrian Alpine Club I am based in Chamonix running our last Mont Blanc Snowshoe week of the season. Last week we experienced litterally buckets of fresh snow making the roads a nightmare but the skiing & snowshoeing excellent!

Last week saw the successful completion of the 3rd ever Mont Blanc Snowshoe week, led by Tracks and Trails in association with KE Adventure Travel. Find out more about our Chamonix Mont Blanc Snowshoe weeks. 

I have been on an adventure today searching for more interesting snow shoe routes to share with you - and have had one of the best days out ever. Blue skies, powder, and stunning views. Join us on a snowshoe holiday this winter season - we now offer trips in France, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria and Germany. 

As a guide, there is nothing better than working with clients who are up for adventures, want to reach high points and bag peaks - all in the sunshine! What more could you ask for? My office 'window' has a fantastic new view every day.

It's just a few days before Julia heads back to the UK for Christmas and leaves behind the snowy alpine landscape, so off we set for a girls' ski tour along with friend Cathy O'Dowd. All in the name of research for our snowshoe holidays in Chamonix, France - where you can experience this wonderful snowshoe experience for yourself.
