Practical info
Payment on departure please in euros cash. Minimum group size 2, maximum 8 (larger groups possible on dinner walks, please ask).
If you are on your own, please enquire as it should normally be possible to join an existing group. Children under 16 accompanied by an adult pay half price.
What’s included:
Prices include guide, equipment hire (snowshoes, poles, torches (where applicable)), simple but hearty picnic lunch (full days only), return transport between your accommodation and start/finish of the walk (within Chamonix valley area).
What’s not:
Not included are transfers to and from Chamonix from further afield, insurance, ski lift passes (where needed), suitable clothing including footwear (see below), and cost of dinner on evening walks.
What to bring :
Most ski clothing is also suitable for snowshoeing. Clothing needs to be warm and waterproof. Multiple light layers rather than few heavy items allow you to regulate your temperature by adding or removing layers.�
Footwear choice is very important. The snowshoes will fit almost any boot, but they do not offer any protection from the cold or wet. Therefore your boots need to be warm, waterproof, and comfortable to walk in all day. Trainers, casual shoes and ski boots are all unsuitable. A sturdy pair of your own walking boots with warm socks is best. If you do not have these, or you are in any doubt as to their suitability, good boots can be hired locally the day before your trip. Please ask me if you are unsure.
