Join us on our guided alpine snowshoeing holidays and discover the beauty and tranquillity of the French Alps during winter. Go walking completely off-piste in untracked territory, leaving the crowds and ski stations far behind. Follow animal tracks, admire the natural beauty of frozen waterfalls and gaze on the splendour of the Mont Blanc Massif. Snowshoeing is a truly unique experience!

Snowshoes are a lightweight device which you attach to your walking boots, giving you extra support when walking on deep snow. Unlike cross-country skiing, you will very quickly feel comfortable and secure on your snowshoes. Of course, you can also combine some days skiing in one of Europe's biggest ski areas - the Grand Massif - into your week as well.

• Getting way from the crowded slopes
• Being surrounded by epic snow-capped peaks
• Returning to a sauna and log fire in your chalet at the end of each day
