Snowshoeing courses and winter walks in the French Alps - snowshoe alpine France

Alpine winter walking and snowshoeing has grown rapidly in popularity over recent years. This is due to the guarantee of great snow conditions, crisp alpine air, blue skies and ease of movement using snowshoes. Modern snowshoes are light, easy to use and provide a mode of transport in deep snow that would otherwise require the use of touring skis. The hinged bindings fit to any walking boot providing a secure platform in soft deep snow and with inbuilt crampon points they are firm on any harder surfaces too.

As with our summer walking courses we offer fully guided snowshoeing trips in the Ecrins Alps region of the French Alps. We provide all the necessary equipment including avalanche transceivers (not that we will take you out in dangerous snow conditions!) so all you need is regular walking gear, some gaiters and the appetite to discover virgin snows, tranquil forests and spectacular panoramas.

Whatever your interest and fitness levels there are numerous treks and sights to experience - whether you are looking for easy going walks through the forests or to explore the non glacial peaks of the region - Les Ecrins has it all!
