Activity description

Venture into the wild Alps on a snowshoe trek from Avoriaz and learn to build an igloo with your guide if you wish to!

Whether it is for a half-day or a full day, your mountain leader will be able to lead you to some unusual and sublime places this winter during this snowshoe hike in Avoriaz. If you are a beginner, don't worry: he will give you a quick introduction to walking in snowshoes (technique, use of poles, breathing, etc.) to help you make the most of this experience in the heart of the Portes du Soleil. You will have the chance to enjoy this winter adventure as part of a private group, made up solely of you and your family and/or friends, so you can really personalise your itinerary to suit your level and your desires!

Your snowshoe hike from Avoriaz will take you to some of the best spots in the region: the Plateau de Loëx, the Col de Cou, the Col Ratti, the Col de Joux-Plane, and so on. These areas generally benefit from good snow conditions and offer varied, wild landscapes. Depending on the route of your private snowshoe excursion in Avoriaz, you will be able to discover Mont Blanc, the Dents du Midi and many other panoramic views of the Northern Alps, not to mention wildlife (chamois, birds of prey, etc.), typical chalets and beautiful spruce and beech forests! As a bonus, you will even have the chance to build an igloo if you choose to book the igloo option.

Book this private snowshoe hike in Avoriaz and discover nature with the help of a passionate and experienced guide!

A really nice alternative to skiing. Great fun and the snow shoeing inspired us to hire some on another day.
