In the heart of the Maurienne, Albiez Montrond's mountain pastures and hamlets face the Aiguilles d'Arves. Renting a snowshoe in Albiez Montrond is the ideal opportunity to discover these landscapes at your own pace, in the hushed silence of winter. You'll make your way between clearings and larch forests, come across hare or fox tracks, and enjoy wide-angle panoramas without any particular technical effort.

In practical terms, the resort culminates at around 1500 m altitude, with generous sunshine but often cool temperatures from December to March. Check the daily weather forecast and avalanche bulletin if you're going off the marked itineraries. When's the best time to go? In the morning, when the snow wears well and the light is crystal-clear, or in the late afternoon to enjoy the low-angled sun and golden colors. After a snowfall, wait a few hours to stabilize if the wind has picked up on the ridges.
