Renting a snowshoe in Flaine is the perfect way to discover the mountains in a different way. Here, between 1600 m and the high lookouts of the Désert de Platé, the snow is generous and the scenery breathtaking. You can walk gently through the fir trees, breathe in the fresh air and, when the sky is clear, see Mont Blanc in the distance.

These outings are accessible to all. For a first experience, check out the marked itineraries just outside the resort or around the Col de Pierre Carrée, perched at 1844 m, where the snow cover lasts a long time. Looking for a wilder nature? The Gers valley offers a deep, silent setting, best enjoyed in good weather and with a good level of skiing. After a snowfall, set off in the morning to enjoy light powder; in the late afternoon, the light is splendid but night falls quickly in winter.
