Craving powder by day and a warm refuge glow at night? Our guided snowshoe trips pair untouched tracks with fireside moments, from bubbling fondue to a soothing sauna and a New Year sky full of stars.
Head to the Vosges for a beginner friendly weekend based in a comfortable refuge in the heart of the regional park. In the Clarée valley, spend four days in high country refuges and toast the New Year at 2100 meters. Cross the Swiss Jura over three days, following animal tracks across snowy prealpine woods, then reward yourself with fondue and a sauna. In the Hautes Alpes, celebrate New Year on a three day loop that swaps screens for snowy silence and a snug refuge. Or aim for Haute Ubaye for four days between guesthouse and refuge with sweeping views of the Chambeyron.
Led by local experts, these guided snowshoe trips run from December to March for 3 to 4 days, with small groups, strong safety practices and hearty mountain fare. You carry only the essentials, share long tables in cozy refuges and return with winter sparks in your head and warmth in your heart.
