Looking for a breath of fresh Chartreuse air? Renting a snowshoe at Col de Porte is the perfect way to enjoy a winter's day close to Grenoble. Between fir forests, luminous clearings and panoramic views of Belledonne and, on a clear day, Mont-Blanc, the col offers a variety of itineraries, accessible to families and curious hikers alike. Renting snowshoes at the Col de Porte allows you to improvise an outing without constraints and explore at your own pace.

Winter weather is often cold and changeable. The best times to set off are in the morning, when the snow is still firm and the landscape immaculate after a recent fall. From December to March, snow cover is generally favorable; at the end of the season, prefer altitudes around the pass to maintain good conditions. Avoid steep slopes during periods of high risk, and stick to marked areas.
