In the company of an environmental guide, you will discover the secrets of the area and enjoy the experience without any worries!
What we will do
We will meet in Cogne (AO ) and after forming the group, the guide will provide us with snowshoes (included in the participation fee, along with poles) and will give us all the information we need to carry out the activity safely.
We will take a route that will lead us into the Sylvenoire forest, an enchanted place that in winter is dressed in a white cloak of snow, offering plays of light and fantastic atmospheres. Walking through the trees, we will encounter hares, squirrels, deer, chamois, ibex and other animals. In addition, the guide will describe to us step by step the characteristics of the natural environment and the glacial valleys we will walk through.
After a few hours of walking, we will arrive at a beautiful plateau where we can stop for a break in a chalet, before taking the way back.
The activity will last approximately 3.5 hours in total for a route with little altitude difference and no technical difficulties.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level and is suitable for everyone, including families with children aged 5 and up.
Dogs are allowed, provided they are muzzled.
