HOLIDAY OFFERS - Snowshoeing Holidays - Example 5 Day Snowshoeing Itinerary - Day 2 five day snowshoe

Day 2 - Champoleon Valley

Half day introduction to snowshoeing, winter wild life and snow safety.

The Champoleon valley is a wild winter wilderness frequented by chamois and ibex.

It is walled by 3000 meter peaks with a river along the valley bottom, a scattering of traditional alpine villages, trees and cliffs.

There are several walks to be done in this valley and the guide will decide on the day where will be best. You'll be looking out for signs of wildlife and if you're lucky you'll get to see the chamois frolicking in the snow.

This will be a gentle start to your holiday, to help you get used to wearing snowshoes and warm up your walking legs. The guide will also explain the safety of the mountains in winter - useful knowledge to have!
