Description

Come experience the tranquility of winter in the mountains! Join me for this short winter hike: no previous snowshoe experience required!

Isola 2000 is a popular ski resort located near Mercantour National Park in the French Alps. However, skiing and snowboarding are not the only outdoor activities available to enjoy during the winter. Hiking this time of year can be quite enjoyable. Seeing everything blanked in soft white snow gives you a new appreciation for the mountains, in addition to a peaceful sense of tranquility and stillness.

This short 1.5 hour walk is a perfect introduction to wintertime hiking. This is a great opportunity for those new to snowshoes to practice, or those who are already familiar with winter hiking to spend sometime outdoors. For this excursion, we will focus more on appreciating the winter landscape than physical effort, and so we will stay on mostly flat terrain.

As we explore the beautiful winter landscape, we will have the opportunity to look at animal tracks, to watch chamois through a telescope, and to appreciate the beauty of the mountains in winter. We will have lots of downtime as we move at a very moderate pace, and along the way I will share my knowledge of the nature and history of the region.

Book this short winter hike now, and I promise a fun and relaxing experience exploring the winter landscape in the area around Isola 2000!

I offer other guided snowshoe programs as well: Isola 2000, France, Half-Day Guided Snowshoeing, Terre Rouge Lakes, France, Guided Snowshoe Tour, or Auron, French Alps, Short Snowshoeing Hike.

Nature is for me a fabulous field of investigation . Colors, scents, sounds are always present and reveal us so many sensations.
My hometown is Nice on the French Riviera and I explore my region from the Mediterranean shores to the highest peaks of the Mercantour National Park. In the summer time on foot, and in the winter with snowshoeing.

I am looking forward to guiding you in my region, sharing the vision of chamois, marmots and ibexes, on the tracks of wolves, and with a golden eagle in the sky.

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.
