Snowshoeing Holidays

Listen to the satisfying crunch of snow beneath your feet as you trek through the pristine winter wildernesses under deep blue skies and sunshine! Snowshoeing has to be one of the best ways to explore the mountains in winter.

Anyone can do it and as all our holidays are tailor made to suit you we can make the walks as demanding or easy as you like. Have a look at our snowshoeing page to find out more about it.

All the guides we use are qualified snowshoe guides and will make your safety and enjoyment their top priority.

There are hundreds of beautiful snowshoe walks to choose from and our guides will choose the most suitable one for the conditions of the day and you. You can walk through forests, over frozen lakes, across open snow meadows, up to a summit, over a col or along the valley floor with the mountains in all their winter glory towering over you. You can even go out for an evening snowshoe in the moonlight.

You can browse slide shows of some of the snowshoe walks in the area at Undiscovered Alps Snowshoeing in the Alps Collection

All our snowshoeing holidays include:

• 4 nights (for long weekend breaks) or 7 nights accommodation with a choice of bed and breakfast, self catering, half board or full board accommodation.

• Guided snowshoeing - for a weeks holiday this is usually 4 half days and 2 full days guided snowshoeing and for the long weekend it is usually 2 half days and 1 full day. (see individual holiday offers for detail)

• Snowshoes and poles

• Choice of transport options (transfers and local transport to and from activities can either be provided by us or you can self drive)

If none of our offers suit you or you would like to mix and match it with a few days skiing or other winter activities, please let us know when you make your enquiry and we'll tailor make you a perfect winter activity holiday.

8 day Snowshoeing itinerary

Explore the winter wildernesses of the Champsaur and Valgaudemar valleys in the Southern French Alps. Situated on the edge of the Ecrins National Park this hardly visited region is a rare winter paradise for walkers and snowshoers.

Have a look at this example itinerary for a taste of what the area has on offer. In reality we would adapt the itinerary when you are here to make the most of the conditions of the day, but this will give you a good idea of what to expect.

For self catering snowshoe holiday offers have a look at Cecile's farm and Chalets du Tourond, for bed and breakfast check out Ferme D'Emile and for catered options look at Gite L'Aventure.

5 Day Snowshoeing Itinerary

Need a quick getaway for some fresh air, sun and exercise in the snow?

Take a long weekend and spend it exploring the winter alpine wildernesses of the Southern French Alps on snow shoes!

Listen to the crunch of fresh snow beneath your feet as you trek through pristine snow fields, under snow laden trees, over mountain cols and along valley floors... marvel at frozen waterfalls and streams and spot the ibex and chamois as they frollick in the snow.

This is an example itinerary for a long weekend break.

Have a look at the Gite L'Aventure for group weekend snowshoeing prices and Ferme D'Emile for couples and small groups.
