Full description
To leave the warmth of your bed on winter mornings, you need the right motivation. And we will give it to you!
Come to Courmayeur to wake up from the torpor: snowshoes, an expert guide and a bed of snow will not make you regret the warmth of your blanket. Quite the contrary!
For four and a half hours, enjoy the beauty of winter and enjoy a delicious lunch at the refuge.
What we will do
The meeting will take place at the meeting point in Courmayeur (AO), 10 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.
We will be welcomed by our guide, ready to lead us through the snowy landscapes of the Aosta Valley. Having donned our snowshoes and grasped our poles, we will begin our adventure through the forests of Val Ferret, not before having familiarised ourselves with our instruments in a briefing of about 10 minutes.
With its gentle slopes and whitewashed hillsides, the valley will offer us an easy and enjoyable snowshoe hike, with no major differences in altitude and therefore suitable for everyone. We will walk under the highest walls in Europe, from the Dente del Gigante to Punta Helbronner to Mont Blanc, accompanied by the guide's tales.
We will spot with binoculars the most remote bivouacs and majestic glaciers, surrounded by the wildest landscape there is: we would even forget that we are immersed in civilisation, if it were not for a few snowshoers and cross-country skiers who will appear from time to time around us!
The first part of the route will culminate with the arrival at the refuge, an old alpine hut in Valle d'Aosta specialising in traditional dishes: cold meats, polenta, red wine and beer will be the protagonists of our typical fixed-menu lunch! The stop will last about 1 hour.
Once our bellies are full, we will set off again towards the meeting point, skirting streams and admiring the landscape. The experience will last a total of 4½ hours.
