When the snow settles, trade screens for spruce forests. Our guided snowshoe trips pair fresh tracks by day with warm huts or guesthouses by night. From the ridgelines of the Vosges to the Clarée valley and Haute Ubaye, then north to the Swiss Jura, spend 2 to 4 days exploring frosted woods, frozen lakes and wide alpine views between December and March. Evenings bring a friendly table, hot meals and dawns that open to mountain skylines.
This handpicked collection includes a beginner friendly weekend in a comfortable Vosges refuge, an intermediate traverse along the great Vosges crest, a New Year escape in the Clarée with a night at 2100 meters, three snowy days in the Hautes Alpes over the holiday, a four day circuit between gîte and refuge in Haute Ubaye, and a Swiss Jura crossing spiced with fondue and sauna stops. All guided snowshoe trips run in small groups with an expert leading the line so you walk light and sleep well.
