Renting a snowshoe in Les Menuires is the ideal way to discover the Belleville valley at your own pace. At an altitude of 1850 m, the resort offers a varied and friendly terrain, perfect for a contemplative stroll with the family or a more sporting outing. Between snow-covered mountain pastures, frozen streams and panoramic views of the peaks of the Trois Vallées, the immersion is total.

From the Bruyères district, follow the Lac du Lou valley for a wild atmosphere and gentle slopes. Another idea is the signposted footpaths that wind between La Croisette and Reberty, very accessible and pleasant after a snowfall. Lovers of authenticity will appreciate the valley's hamlets, with their stone and wooden chalets, while the curious will be on the lookout for the tracks of a mountain hare or chamois in the early hours of the morning.

As for the weather, winter alternates between bright days and snowy spells. On sunny days, set off early to enjoy firm snow and clear views; after a good fall, opt for routes close to the resort and protected from the wind. In gusty conditions, valley-bottom trails offer natural shelter. Always check the snow report and follow the marked trails.

For a successful outing, equip yourself with waterproof footwear, poles with wide washers, layered clothing, warm gloves, category 3/4 glasses and sun cream. Bring water, snacks, a map or GPS track, and a torch if you're going to be out for a long time. Snowshoe rental in Les Menuires opens up a simple, accessible and exotic space of freedom, to be experienced at the rhythm of the mountains.
