Secret Alps - Snowshoe Summits o Overview

A one week snowshoeing holiday in the quiet and unknown Samoens region of France

A stunning one week snowshoe holiday in the beautiful Haute Savoie region of France. Our base for this eight day holiday is in the idyllic mountain village of Samoëns, situated near the impressive Cirque du Fer a Cheval in the heart of the French Alps. The terrain here is excellent for snowshoeing and promises some great days and the possibility of reaching the summit of up to 5 peaks, including Pointe Ratti which is one of our guides favourite days in the area, a day when it is very rare to see anybody else snowshoeing and with views over to the impressive massif of the Roc d'Enfer we can understand why it is high on their list! On the final day of snowshoeing we aim to summit Tete de la Sallaz; the area's proximity to the Mont Blanc range on this day means excellent views, and with the opportunity of one of the best hot chocolates in the area on the way back to the hotel, this is sure to be another favourite day. Quiet trails, lovely French food and wine, expert guides and crisp white snow - surely the ingredients of a truly fantastic holiday.
