Snowshoeing

Half day, wilderness day and evening snowshoe walks in the Paradiski area

Snowshoeing is a great way to discover La Plagne beyond the ski slopes, with guided walks through snow-covered forests and open mountain landscapes. Suitable for beginners and those looking for a different winter activity, these outings let you explore the mountain environment, discover local wildlife and enjoy views of Mont Blanc. With snowshoes and poles provided, you can enjoy a change of pace and experience the quieter side of the Alps.

Discover the mountains beyond the slopes

Snowshoeing offers an opportunity to explore La Plagne’s natural surroundings away from the busier pistes. Accompanied by a qualified instructor, you can follow mountain trails through peaceful forests and open snowy landscapes, taking in the scenery along the way.

Routes may include the Dou du Praz plateau, with views towards Mont Blanc, the Aime 2000 forest and other mountain trails. It's a lovely way to spend an afternoon outdoors, whether you're taking a break from skiing or simply want to enjoy the mountains at a more relaxed pace.

Guided outings for different abilities

The guided snowshoe walks are suitable for beginners and those new to the activity, with routes adapted to the outing and conditions. You don't need previous snowshoeing experience, making it a good option for discovering a new winter sport.

Children aged nine and over can also take part when accompanied by an adult, offering families a chance to enjoy the mountains together.
