Go for the day, snowshoes on, to discover the snow-covered mountain!
By walking on snowshoes, we free ourselves from the trails, we forget the markings and we escape, for a day.

In the snow, the animal tracks are clearly visible, so it's up to us to dream, what if we saw it, this chamois which stopped here for a moment? Understanding the movements of animals, their strategies to survive the winter and enjoying the deep silence of the snow-covered mountain, that's what I offer you in this day package.

Additional Information :
9 a.m.-16 p.m. Approximately 7km and 500m elevation gain. Accessible for anyone in good physical condition, you must be able to walk for 5-6 hours. Equipment: Bring a 25L backpack containing 1L of water per person, your snacks, your picnic, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen (required!), gloves, hat. Sneakers are not suitable for snowshoeing, high hiking shoes are required! Ski jackets are unsuitable because snowshoeing is a fairly physical sport, you will quickly get too hot! The preferred technique is that of the onion: a long-sleeved t-shirt that dries quickly, a fleece, and a windbreaker/waterproof jacket on top will be very suitable during the exercise. Remember to add a small down jacket or another fleece in the bag for breaks! Snowshoes and poles are provided by your guide, but if you have your own equipment, you can of course bring it! Think about your personal pharmacy (ventolin, current treatments, anti-blister dressings, etc.). Depending on the weather conditions, the itinerary may be adapted.
