Snowshoeing

Hiking with snowshoes among snowy forests or vast mountain areas on a beautiful sunny day is definitely one of the nicest things to do in winter. Snowshoes have been used for thousands of years as a mode of transportation in the snowy regions of North America and Siberia, and are an excellent opportunity for a gentle discovery of the mountain environment in the winter, combining pleasure and a physical activity. Summer paths become covered with a deep layer of snow and offer numerous hiking possibilities in a friendly atmosphere perfect for families. From Villar d'Arène to La Grave, from the Plateau d'Emparis to the small hamlets above La Grave, there are various options for snowshoe hikes and the discovery of the preserved nature as well as an ancient local architecture.
