Snowshoeing in Courmayeur: winter walks at the foot of Mont Blanc
Snowshoeing on Courmayeur’s trails means being enveloped in silence and admiring breathtaking views at the foot of Mont Blanc. Wearing snowshoes and walking on the soft snow accompanied only by the sound of your own footsteps is an indescribable thrill.
Snowshoes are simple tools suitable for everyone and do not require specific physical abilities per se. If anything, the difficulty may come from the length and elevation difference of the route. Therefore, before setting out on a snow hike in Courmayeur, it is a good idea to search the trail best suitable for your level.
Snowshoeing in Aosta Valley: the best trails and paths in Courmayeur
Among the hikes on Mont Blanc in winter that should not be missed is definitely the snowshoe hike that starts from the SkyWay cable car at Punta Helbronner, at 3,466 m (10,000 ft) elevation. This is a loop trail, not too challenging, through the slopes of Col du Toula and Col de Rochefort.
Snowshoeing routes in Courmayeur are plentiful. Before setting off, however, you need to assess the weather conditions well so as not to incur avalanche risk. It is best to be accompanied by a mountain guide who is fully familiar with the terrain and snow conditions.
Snowshoe hikes in Val Veny and Val Ferret
Val Veny and Val Ferret are among the most striking valleys in the Aosta Valley. Val Veny, west of Courmayeur, is an unspoiled and wild place. Here you can snowshoe in absolute silence in the presence of His Majesty Mont Blanc. A tip for those venturing into Val Veny is to bring sufficient drinks and snacks with you as it is difficult to find refreshments on the route.
One of the most popular routes for snowshoeing in Courmayeur is to the Bonetti Hut (2,025 m) in Val Ferret. Starting from the village of Planpincieux, you climb to the hut accompanied by views of the highest mountains in the Mont Blanc massif.
Organized snowshoe hikes: info on prices and costs
Snowshoe hikes vary in price depending on location, duration and any extra services included in the fee. The snowshoe hike to Bonetti Hut costs €30 per person, including guide, snowshoes and poles.
Adventures to gift: experience the magic of winter with a snowshoe hike in Courmayeur
Experiential gifts are becoming increasingly popular, especially among lovers of sports and outdoor activities. Snowshoeing can be an original gift idea for Christmas or for birthdays or anniversaries that fall in the winter season. The feeling of “floating” on snow and being immersed among the highest Alpine mountains will be a beautiful memory to cherish!

Highly recommended
Nice, knowledgeable and attentive guide. We spent a beautiful morning in the snow, in an enchanted landscape. The guide did not just 'accompany' us but was our narrator. To be repeated if it happens, to be recommended.
