Activity description

Do you dream of escape, fresh air and superb snow-covered landscapes? Then you've come to the right place!

Fabrique Aventure offers a number of snowshoe treks around Le Lioran and the Col de Serre to help you discover breathtaking scenery. You'll be guided by experienced mountain guides who will share their passion for snowshoeing and tell you all about their region in the Cantal Massif.

Thanks to Fabrique Aventures, there's something for everyone and every taste, with hikes of varying length and difficulty. Whether you're young, sporty or not, with family, friends or on your own, you're bound to find something to suit you among the snowshoe trekking excursions on offer in the Cantal massif!

With your snowshoes on, you can follow the tracks left by hares, deer and squirrels. If you're lucky, you might even spot a chamois or mouflon! Fabrique Aventures' guides will avoid the busy trails and suggest more remote and authentic routes around Le Lioran.

Much lighter than skis and requiring no special technique, snowshoes allow you to climb a mountain to the summit, come back down, walk in the forest, cross a stream... in complete safety and peace of mind!

Book your snowshoe trek around Le Lioran in the Cantal Massif now!

Guide très avenant et pro il connaît bien la région. Belle balade avec contes et histoire de la faune et flore. Par contre erreur sur le site: le parcours découverte n'est pas fait pour les enfants. Je recommande l'activité
