self catering accommodation.
These are a selection of suggested packages in some of our favourite properties so you can get an idea of price but we can easily tailor make a trip to suit you.
Have a look at our
self catering accommodation pages to see our full range of properties and look at the other activity options at the bottom of the page.
These are flexible holidays where you choose which walks you would like to do from our weekly programme. We meet you at the beginning of the week to go through the options available. We will also suggest self guided snowshoe walks that are safe to do on your own and things to do in your free time.
The weekly programme includes several of choices of half day and full day snowshoe walks for all levels of fitness and to accommodate different interests including wildlife spotting, snowshoeing through high altitude villages, moonlit snowshoe walks, high altitude lakes, snowshoeing through the larches, mountain ridges..... and more. The programme is adapted on a regular basis to take into account local conditions.
Have a look at our example
8 day snowshoeing itinerary for an idea of some of the possibilities.
Please note these snowshoe walks may not all be available for your week as the programme is adapted to make the most of local conditions nearer the time. All the snowshoe walks on the programme are also subject to minimum group numbers of four. If your chosen walk does not have the required numbers you will be offered the choice to pay a supplement to cover the guide fee or a different snowshoe walk.
All Prices Include:
• 7 nights self catering accommodation.
• 3 half days guided snowshoeing (or 2 half days and a moonlit snowshoe walk!)
• 2 full days guided snowshoeing these can be exchanged for 3 half day walks.
• Snowshoes and poles for 6 days
• Maps and advice for things to do in your spare time and self guided snowshoe walks that are safe to do by yourself.
All self catering properties work on a Saturday to Saturday basis (with some exceptions over Xmas and New Year - see individual accommodations for details), so if you want to take advantage of cheaper flights and arrive or leave on a different day, please
contact us. It is possible to organise extra nights either end of a week's holiday in a local hotel or bed and breakfast.

Transport and Getting Here
For all tailor made trips we highly recommend you self drive rather than let us drive you to and from the snowshoe walks as the area has so much to offer and for you to explore in your free time. We will give you maps and directions for getting to the guided snowshoe walks. They are all easy to find so don't worry about getting lost!
However, if you would like a quote for a transport included holiday, please just let us know when you make your
enquiry. For large groups of 6 or more people it can often work out more cost effective and practical for us to arrange your transport so it is worth asking.
We can organise a hire car for you from any airport or train station.
For information on how to get here, please have a look at our
How to Get Here page.
We can also help with information and advice about
airport parking or
airport hotels
