Step away from routine and into winter silence with our 4 day guided snowshoe trips in France and Switzerland. These itinerant adventures blend snowshoe travel, pulka hauling and nights in winter bivouac for a true taste of Nordic style exploration, led by seasoned mountain guides.
Traverse the Vercors from February to March, pulling a pulka across the Hauts Plateaux nature reserve, camping under a tipi and catching sunrise over Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymont. In the Ecrins from January to March, spend a day snowshoeing with Nordic dogs on tow lines and sleep out in a full winter camp. Cross into Switzerland for the wild heart of the Jura, gliding through forests and open plateaus, reading fresh animal tracks and soaking up a Scandinavian feel. Closer to the Italian border, the Cerces and Mont Thabor open two versions of the same playground, including a special New Year departure to ring in midnight under a sky of stars.
All trips are fully guided, with group gear organised and clear packing advice, from a warm down jacket to a reliable waterproof shell. If you want a demanding, mobile winter camp experience, these guided snowshoe trips deliver four intense days you will not forget.
