It is a completely different way of enjoying the Alpine scenery and its typical little villages, accompanied by a passionate local guide who will comment on the hike, punctuated by breaks.

This guided night-time snowshoe hike in Thures will be enhanced halfway through by a dinner in a refuge, with a menu from the region prepared using local produce.
