SNOW SHOEING 
The Alps in the winter provide a superb setting for snowshoeing.
If you enjoy walking and you appreciate peace and quiet, you're more than
likely to relish snowshoeing. The days of trekking through the mountains
on cumbersome wooden "boats" resembling tennis raquets are long
gone. Today's snowshoes are slim-line, easy to use and very light; they
can be hired at Snowline Sports shop, along with poles which are essential.
Snowshoeing is quite physical and you need to be fit to get maximum enjoyment
from this sport but the trails offer stunning views and it’s a fine
way to explore the “back country” around Morgins. Our guide
will take you on a different trail every day from Monday through to Friday
culminating in a trek up to the Pointe de Bellevue at over 2,000m. Walks
will generally last for up to 4 hours so please bring plenty of water
and a picnic, preferably with some high energy snacks to give a boost
for the uphill bits!
