Snow Shoeing is an alternative and complementary activity to skiing and snowboarding and offers a wilder experience that is both closer to nature and more environmentally friendly. It can be described as the winter version of hiking or trekking and can be anything from a relaxing stroll to a challenging summit assault.

We use snow shoes to avoid sinking through the powder as well as poles for balance. On offer are full day walks, half day walks, or speciality courses, such as winter survival and igloo construction (particularily popular with children!), avalanche victim research & rescue, or navigation.

Let me be your guide to the natural wonders of Samoëns and the Grand Massif! I am of Swedish origin and fully fluent in English as well as in French. A fully qualified mountain leader (summer and winter) in the French system (Accompagnateur en Montagne), I am in a perfect position to offer a safe and interesting trip, not just simply ensuring your safety, but also sharing my passion and knowledge of the unique winter environment with you.
