🥾 Snowshoe Walks: A Scenic Escape in Peisey-Vallandry
A true winter essential, snowshoeing is possible throughout the Peisey-Vallandry area, offering a peaceful and immersive way to explore the snowy landscape.
🌲 Whether you choose to go solo from the resort or toward the Nordic site, or join a guided outing with Jean-Marie, an experienced ESF instructor, you’ll discover a different kind of sport — one that blends effort and serenity.
Heads up: the elevation gains can be steep, so bring strong legs and a healthy dose of cardio!
🏔️ Along the way, you’ll uncover breathtaking alpine scenery from a fresh perspective: winding through forests, crossing silent valleys, and reaching viewpoints that feel worlds away from the ski slopes.
🍷 For those who prefer the charm without the challenge, Jean-Marie also offers a Savoyard aperitif or a torchlit descent. A magical way to enjoy the mountains with all the ambiance and none of the strain.
