Craving a mountain escape without the long haul? Our weekends and short breaks take you to the Vosges and the Pyrenees. Between snowshoe trips in France and nature hikes focused on wildlife, you travel with a local guide, sleep in cozy refuges or simple cabins, and switch between snowy atmospheres and wild forests.
In the Vosges, a three day winter snowshoe weekend from December to March links ridgelines, spruce forest and big viewpoints, with a comfortable refuge at day’s end. In the Pyrenees, a four day snowshoe journey moves from snowy valleys to warm refuges, with reintroduced ibex sometimes on the skyline. All routes are guided, beginner friendly and designed to maximise observation without disturbing wildlife, the spirit of the best snowshoe trips in France.
