Snowshoeing in Le Monêtier-les-Bains with Fondue in Teepee

Please note: due to increasingly mild winter temperatures, the igloo is no longer available. The evenings now take place in a cosy Finnish teepee, warmed by a wood-burning stove.

In winter, there is nothing like a good cheese fondue to warm up and recharge your batteries after a day in the great outdoors. To make the experience even more memorable, this unusual activity in the Écrins National Park combines a snowshoe hike with a fondue dinner in a warm and welcoming tipi. Located just a 20-minute drive from Briançon and Serre-Chevalier, it’s the perfect mix of adventure and comfort.

As night falls, you’ll set off on snowshoes for a gentle 40-minute walk through the snowy landscapes, heading towards a trapper’s village where Finnish teepees await. Outside, a crackling campfire will welcome you with a convivial aperitif of mulled wine and syrup under the stars. Afterwards, you’ll step inside the heated tipi to savour a delicious 100% local cheese fondue in a cosy alpine atmosphere, with the warmth of the wood-burning stove creating the perfect setting.

This friendly snowshoe hike in Le Monêtier-les-Bains, open to children aged 5 and over, followed by a cheese fondue in a Finnish teepee, is an unforgettable experience to share with family or friends near Serre-Chevalier.
