Join us on our guided alpine snowshoeing holidays and discover the beauty and tranquility of the French Alps during Winter. Go walking completely off-piste in untracked territory, leaving the crowds and ski stations far behind. Follow animal tracks, admire the natural beauty of frozen waterfalls and gaze on the splendour of the Mont Blanc Massif. Snowshoeing is a truly unique experience!

Snowshoes are a lightweight device, which attach to your walking boots, giving extra support when walking on deep snow, allowing you to cross snow covered terrain without floundering and sinking. And unlike cross-country skiing you will very quickly feel comfortable and secure on your snowshoes. Of course, you can also combine some days skiing in one of Europe's biggest ski areas - the Grand Massif - into your week as well.

• Getting way from the crowded the slopes
• Being surrounded by epic snow capped peaks
• Returning to the sauna and log fire at the end of each day
