Ready to sleep differently, high on snow under Alpine stars, and move to the quiet rhythm of fresh tracks on the ridges? From an igloo night facing La Meije to pulka journeys across the Vercors, dog assisted snowshoeing in the Écrins and tent camps near Mont Thabor, this selection gathers our most immersive guided snowshoe trips in the Alps.
Choose your format. Three days in the Cerces with an igloo night opposite La Meije, from December to April, intermediate level. A four day traverse of the Vercors with pulkas, wild bivouacs under a tipi and views of Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymont, in February and March, advanced level. In the Écrins, four days of winter bivouac and dog assisted snowshoeing from the Narreyroux torrent to silent snow covered pastureland, January to March, advanced level. Or head back to the Cerces for four days on the Mont Thabor side with pulkas, deep winter ambiance and nights under canvas, December to January, advanced level.
Every trip is led by a qualified mountain guide, so you learn the craft of winter camping, how to pace yourself at altitude and how to enjoy the cold season safely. Evenings mean hot meals shared in a communal tent or inside the igloo, mornings mean light packs or a pulka at your waist before gliding back into wide open spaces. These guided snowshoe trips keep the focus on simplicity, teamwork and memorable nights out in real winter.
