A week or a short break of guided snowshoeing in a group staying in a fantastic little Auberge in the wild alpine valley of Champoleon.

Ideal for individuals, couples or or small groups who want to join a group. Minimum group size is 6 and maximum is 8.

No previous snowshoeing experience is needed. Suitable for people of average fitness - regular dog walkers, gym goers or hill walkers wanting an active week in the winter wilderness!

During the week you will discover one of the most dramatic and beautiful national parks in the Alps - the Ecrins National Park, you will see chamois, ibex, maybe a wild boar and plenty of birds. There are even wolves in the proximity. Snowshoe through forests, over frozen lakes, across open snow meadows, up to a summit, over a col or along the valley floor with the mountains in all their winter glory towering over you.

Have a look at our example 5 day itinerary and 8 day itinerary for an idea of some of the snowshoe walks available.

All the guides we use are qualified accompagnateurs en montagne or UIAGM high mountain guides (depending on level of route) and will make your safety and enjoyment their top priority.

For your free day, you can either rest in the Auberge and enjoy the views or go for a self guided snowshoe walk in the Champoleon valley. Or, if you would like to explore the winter wilderness alternatively... why not try; ice diving, giant tyrolean zip wire, ice climbing, husky dog sledging or cross country skiing. Please note any extra activities would carry a supplement.

The Auberge is a fantastic little place. It was completely restored by the commune in 2008 in a modern funky style but still manages to retain some of it's old mountain heritage! It is now managed by a great team of passionate outdoories, headed up by Stephanie and Laurent.

The food is excellent and there is a bar, internet access, library and children's play area and some of the most beautiful views in the area!
