Renting a snowshoe in Les Contamines Montjoie opens the door to a grandiose setting at the foot of Mont-Blanc. Between fir forests and snow-covered chalets, the itineraries wind their way towards the Contamines-Montjoie nature reserve, with views of the Dômes de Miage and Mont Joly to delight walkers of all levels.

When the weather cooperates, mornings offer firm, silent snow, ideal for steady steps and sharp photos. In the middle of the day, the sun warms the slopes and makes the walk softer. After a snowfall, stick to the marked trails and be careful: the wind can quickly cool the passes, and conditions change rapidly in the mountains.
