Discover the mountains from a different perspective
Looking to get away from the ski slopes and discover another side of Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise? Put on your snowshoes and set off to explore the snowy landscapes of the valley, accompanied by a professional mountain guide.
From larch and spruce forests to high-altitude hamlets and panoramic views over the peaks of the Haute-Tarentaise, snowshoeing is a gentle and immersive way to experience the mountains in winter.
At Sainte-Foy, you can choose from several options depending on what you are looking for:
- A full-day group outing to Le Monal, available each week, to discover this iconic Sainte-Foy site in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
- A private half-day outing, ideal for a first introduction to snowshoeing or for enjoying a hike adapted to your group's pace.
- A private full-day outing, for venturing further into the mountains, taking your time to explore and enjoying a route tailored to your wishes.
Your mountain guide adapts the itinerary to the snow conditions, the group's experience and your expectations. Along the way, discover the mountain landscapes, look out for animal tracks and learn more about the natural environment and heritage of Sainte-Foy.
Whether you are with family, friends or a small group, snowshoeing is a wonderful way to experience the mountains at a slower pace, away from the hustle and bustle of the ski area.
