Looking for fresh air and panoramic views of Mont Blanc? Renting a snowshoe in La Giettaz is the ideal way to explore this Aravis village at your own pace. Between spruce forests, alpine chalets and peaceful hamlets, the itineraries wind their way along gentle slopes, perfect for a first outing or a more challenging hike. Animal tracks are never far away; with a little luck, you'll spot chamois or mountain hare.

From December to March, the snow is generally present. In the mornings, the mantle is firmer and more pleasant to walk on; in the afternoons, the light is softer, especially at the end of the day. After a snowfall, prefer loops in the forest, sheltered from the wind. At altitude, towards the Tête du Torraz, the view is grandiose, but check the weather report and give up if the wind or fog threaten.
