Want to discover winter in a different way? Renting a snowshoe in Briancon is the perfect opportunity to explore the landscapes of the Pays des Écrins and the Guisane valley at your own pace. The highest town in France, Briançon enjoys a bright, dry and often sunny climate, with cool morning temperatures and snow that holds up well at altitude. After a snowfall, the larch undergrowth becomes enchanting, while clear days offer stunning views of the peaks.

In the Clarée and Névache areas, the itineraries wind between frozen rivers and silent glades. Towards the Col du Granon or Cervières, panoramic views open up over the surrounding massifs, and the Vauban fortifications add a unique touch to the walks around the town. Whether you're a beginner, a family or an experienced hiker, you'll find the loops to suit you, from an easy walk along the Guisane to a more challenging outing near Serre Chevalier and Montgenèvre.
