Guided Snowshoeing Holidays in The Alps

Snowshoe holidays to get you 'off the beaten track'

A snowshoe holiday is simply a winter walking holiday made easier. Using modern snowshoes you will avoid sinking deeply into the snow so that walking in a winter mountain environment is a less strenuous experience. You require a reasonable level of fitness, but for most of our trips no previous experience of snowshoeing is required.

Explore the snow covered winter mountains

  • Cross the Swiss Chablais mountain range on a six day winter journey
  • Snowshoe in the shadow of the highest mountain in Western Europe, Mont Blanc
  • Explore the stunning Italian Dolomites in a UNESCO World Heritage site
  • Join us in the Queyras National Park, a well kept secret and truly beautiful area

Snowshoeing is the perfect way to explore the mountains and valleys in winter. Snowshoes have studs on the base to grip on firm or icy trails, and are designed in such a way that you walk 'normally'. Snowshoeing allows you to get away from the crowds, and into a magical winter wonderland of silent forests, beautiful mountains and stunning views.

On snowshoe trips we share our local knowledge about the flora and fauna, local traditions, snow science and how to choose the best route for the conditions. You don't need any previous experience to snowshoe, just warm clothes, reasonable fitness and a sense of adventure.
