Description

If you’d like to take a break from skiing, snowshoe walks are a fantastic idea! This time, I invite you to explore the backcountry of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, away from the crowds and surrounded by pristine snowy landscapes.

You can join a group for a half-day or full-day snowshoe walk. There are fixed dates every week of the snowshoe season.

Half-day snowshoe walk

An ideal activity for those seeking a mellow and enjoyable time in snowy surroundings. The trip is suitable for normally fit people. Children above eight can also take part, always accompanied by adults.

We’ll walk at a gentle pace in low terrains around meadows and forests. There will be plenty of time for taking photographs and looking for animal prints. Depending on the group, we can reach higher elevations by using cable cars.

You can join half-day snowshoe walks every Wednesday and Sunday. The trip takes 3 hours (between 9 and 12 am).

Full day snowshoe walks

This full-day program is ideal for those looking for a more strenuous and adventurous snowshoeing experience. The objective consists on reaching a summit (it can also be a mountain hut or a high mountain pass), where we can enjoy breathtaking views.

This snowshoe-treks are aimed for people with a good level of fitness. It’s also perfect for those who have already done some some hill/mountain walking or or other full day activities in the outdoors.

You can join a full-day snowshoe trek every Thursday and Saturday. They usually take between 6 to 7 hours (from 9 am to 15.30 pm). You should bring a picnic lunch as we’ll have lunch in the open.

Private snowshoe walks are also available for groups or those who prefer a more tailored walk.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
