Snowshoe Walks

Discover the mountains at a different pace

Snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy the mountains beyond skiing and snowboarding. Accompanied by an instructor, you can explore quieter trails, take in the scenery and look out for animal tracks in the snow. Along the way, you’ll learn more about the natural environment and local heritage, making it an enjoyable outdoor activity for individuals, friends and families.

There are different types of outings to choose from, including themed walks focusing on the mountain environment, wildlife, flora and local heritage, as well as more sporty excursions and full-day hikes across the surrounding area.

Snowshoe walks for different levels

Whether you’re trying snowshoeing for the first time or looking for a more active mountain adventure, there are routes to suit different abilities and interests. Instructors adapt the pace and route to the group, helping everyone enjoy the experience. From gentle walks through peaceful landscapes to more demanding hikes with steeper ascents, you can discover a different side of the Three Valleys.

Snowshoe outings are open to adults and children aged ten and over, although children must be accompanied by an adult. Morning and afternoon sessions are available, with five- or six-session programmes as well as other outing options.

Useful information

Snowshoe walks include instruction, but equipment is not provided. You’ll need snowshoes, poles and waterproof walking boots with good ankle support, which you can hire from sports shops in the resort. Warm clothing, water and sun protection are also recommended. A ski pass is not normally required, although this will be confirmed if a particular outing needs one.

Insurance is not included in the lesson price, so arranging suitable cover before your outing is recommended.
