What we will do
We will meet at 10:00 a.m. in the hamlet of Chanavey, in the village of Rhêmes-Notre-Dame (AO). We will meet the guide and the rest of the group and, after an introductory briefing and the handover ofequipment, we will set off.
Equipped with snowshoes and poles, we will walk along the snow-covered paths through the thick larch forests that flank the Dora di Rhêmes and make our way towards Lake Pellaud, an enchanting sheet of water that reflects the winter colours of the mountains.
We will be immersed in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park and will be able to spot herds of ibexes and chamois, admire the flight of thegolden eagle and bearded vulture and, with a bit of luck, even meet some wolves.
The activity will last about 4 hours and will end with a return to the starting point.
