Fun and accessible to everyone, snowshoeing is a fantastic activity for hiking enthusiasts who want to discover the mountains in winter — the perfect way to explore the Briançon area!
We snowshoe in all the valleys around Briançon: the Lautaret Valley, Névache, the Fonts de Cervières, the Izoard, the Cerces, the Durance… in short, pure enjoyment — and snow guaranteed!
From December 1st to April 30th, we offer daily snowshoe outings around Briançon, with a variety of themes (even for a single participant).
Discover the world of ibex, chamois and mountain birds, learn about snow science and the winter snowpack, explore the life of mountain trappers, enjoy mini-raids under a heated tipi for those who feel the cold, or join our gourmet hikes followed by an 8-km downhill sled ride on the Izoard road — pure happiness!
We also organise mini-raids with a night in a mountain hut, starting from two people, in Briançon and its five surrounding valleys: Lautaret, Névache, Cerces, Izoard, Fonts de Cervières and the Durance.
Trapper-style snowshoe bivouacs are also available from two people. Spend a night in true trapper fashion, under a heated tipi with a Norwegian stove, travelling independently with pulkas to carry your gear. These trapper bivouacs are offered every weekend throughout the winter season.
Other snowshoe outings around Briançon can be arranged on request outside the weekly programme.
