Activity description
Treat yourself to a little getaway at an altitude of 2,000 metres not far from Annecy with this snowshoe hike on the Sous-Dîne mountain!
This one-day snowshoe hike on the Sous-Dîne mountain is designed for people with previous mountain hiking experience and will take you to an altitude of 2,000 metres, over a vast plateau with magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding area. Depending on the pace of your private group of just you and your family/friends, you will walk for between 5 and 6 hours on the snowy paths of this natural site, which is less than an hour's drive from Annecy.
This snowshoe hike on the Sous-Dîne mountain is led by a mountain guide who knows the area inside out. The tour begins with a steady climb up to the Col d'Enclave, then continues through the forest, gradually giving way to a more mineral environment. Finally, you will reach the mountain plateau, where breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and the Jura and Aravis ranges await you! This is also the ideal place to enjoy a picnic break before heading back to the hamlet of Mont Piton.
With the advantage of being accompanied by an enthusiastic guide dedicated to your own group of friends and/or family, this snowshoe hike on the Sous-Dîne mountain will provide you with a pleasant outdoor getaway near Annecy and Le Grand-Bornand!
Private group tour: you will be accompanied only by your loved ones and the guide
