The daily routine is generally collection by us from your accommodation after breakfast (eg 08.30-09.00), a short drive to the day’s walk, snowshoeing (with appropriate breaks) until late afternoon, and a lift back to your accommodation in time for tea (eg 16.30-17.00 approx).

The first day will normally be a relatively easy one, allowing plenty of time for instruction and practice in the use of snowshoes and avalanche safety kit.

Depending on conditions and weather outlook, on subsequent days we will explore different parts of the Chamonix Valley and perhaps beyond, possibly venturing into neighbouring Switzerland or Italy. As confidence grows, and according to group abilities and wishes, we may extend ourselves towards slightly more ambitious goals, such as remote, seldom-visited summits and viewpoints.

Because we keep groups small (maximum 8), we can make the activity easy or challenging as you wish. We always strive to be responsive to peoples’ needs, and flexible in our route choices to maximise enjoyment. Occasionally we use ski lifts to save the legs and get a head start.
