Looking for a different way to enjoy winter? Renting a snowshoe at Roubion Les Buisses opens the door to quiet trails, surrounded by larch trees and superb panoramic views of the Mercantour peaks. From the hilltop resort, you can easily access gentle loops for beginners, as well as more challenging itineraries to the crests near the Col de la Couillole. The stone village of Roubion adds an authentic charm to the outing.

The mountain climate of the Alpes-Maritimes often offers plenty of sunshine, with cool mornings and milder afternoons. The ideal period is generally from mid-December to March, depending on snow conditions. After a snowfall, the woods are transformed into a hushed setting; at the end of winter, spring snow is pleasant under snowshoes. Before you set off, check the local weather forecast and route opening times to choose the best time.
