Winter nights in mountain huts, a crackling stove and stars almost within reach. These guided snowshoe trips reveal the mountains at an easy pace yet with real immersion, from the Clarée valley to the Vosges, the Vercors and the Écrins. From December to April depending on the route, you enjoy fresh tracks, small groups and a knowledgeable local guide.
For the turn of the year, head to Névache for New Year snowshoeing with a high altitude celebration, four days with hut nights and a midnight toast at 2100 metres. In the same wild setting, our Clarée huts itinerary adds hands on avalanche safety practice and the viewpoint over Lac Laramon. After something gentler, the Vosges weekend explores the Regional Nature Park over three days with a comfortable refuge. Prefer women only, choose the New Year in the Vercors with one night in an unguarded cabin and a cozy gite, or the Écrins well being escape around La Meije, taking in the Vallon du Gâ, a summit on Roche Chevalier and the frozen Lac du Pontet, between gite and refuges.
Whatever your level from beginner to intermediate, these guided snowshoe trips keep the days manageable, deliver big alpine scenery and the warm camaraderie of the huts. Come for a one of a kind New Year, a snowy weekend or a four day reset, and leave with frosty memories and the feeling you have lived winter from the inside.
