Description

Mont Donon is the highest peak in the northern Vosges. It is 1009 meters high, and can be found at the border between the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Join me for a snowshoeing day in this unique destination!

Since prehistoric times, a sacred character has been attributed to Donon. And this distinctiveness will stay forever. It is away from everything, this promoting the development of legends, mixing myth and reality. The Romans, mysteriously seduced, devote the site to Mercury.

So I guess it is clear that this is a place like no other for snowshoeing. If the destination has already so many interesting features, imagine it covered in snow. And furthermore, picture yourself exploring the area with the calmness that snowshoeing provides. It will be an unforgettable experience!

We will have lunch in a lodge, or alternatively stop for a picnic. In total we will traverse 5.5 kilometers and ascend 380 meters.

We can go snowshoeing there for either a day or a half-day. If you prefer the latter, ask me for more information about the price.

Are you tempted to discover the Donon massif covered in snow? Then book this snowshoeing trip and let’s meet there! And if you want to combine it with other snowshoeing programs in the Vosges massif, check out the ones I offer in Hohneck or Le Gazon du Faing.

I'm a certified Mountain Leader and a certified Sports Instructor, specialized in Rock Climbing. I'm also a certified Mountain Bike instructor. If I'm not available to guide you, I'll have one of the mountain leaders in my team (Antoine, Pascal, Daniel, Vincent or Lionel) take you on a wonderful tour of the area.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
