Renting a snowshoe in Le Grand Bornand is the perfect way to discover the Aravis mountains at your own pace. Between hamlets of chalets, fir forests and views of the Pointe Percée, every step is a living postcard. Whether you're traveling with the family or looking for a sporty outing, the signposted itineraries around Chinaillon, the Vallée du Bouchet or the Col des Annes are suitable for all levels.

Winter here is often generous with snow. After a fresh fall, the undergrowth remains powdery, especially on the shady slopes. Clear, cold mornings offer firm, clean tracks, while afternoons become milder in the sunshine. From December to March, the window is ideal, with peak reliability in January-February. Don't forget to check the weather report and avalanche risk estimate before setting off, as the mountains change quickly.
