Want to discover Isola 2000 in a different way from the slopes? Renting a snowshoe at Isola 2000 offers a peaceful interlude in the heart of the Southern Alps. At an altitude of 2000 m, snow cover is generally reliable from December to March, with many bright days thanks to the sunny climate. Perfect for escaping into larch forests, crossing clearings and enjoying panoramic views of the Mercantour peaks and the Italian border.

Mornings are ideal: the snow wears better and the light is superb after a recent fall. In late winter, it's best to start earlier to avoid heavy snow. The wind can quickly make the air chill, even in the sun, so layer up and don't forget sunglasses, sun cream and a water bottle. Before setting off, check the weather forecast and avalanche bulletin, then follow the marked itineraries. Snowshoe rental at Isola 2000 is suitable for everyone, from families to curious hikers, with gentle loops along the forest edge and more athletic itineraries towards the high plateaus.

For a successful outing, choose snowshoes equipped with crampons and adjustable poles, add gaiters to keep your feet dry, and pack a snack and a small first-aid kit. Respect the fauna of the Mercantour, be discreet and keep your distance if you see chamois or black grouse tracks. Avoid walking on cross-country ski tracks.

Renting snowshoes at Isola 2000 gives you the freedom to take your time, listen to the crunch of the snow and enjoy views that you can't see from the slopes. A simple, accessible and authentic experience, to be enjoyed throughout your stay.
