Between the Ubaye and Blanche valleys, Montclar Les 2 Vallees rolls out its larch forests, silent clearings and beautiful vistas over Lake Serre-Ponçon. Renting a snowshoe in Montclar Les 2 Vallees allows you to explore these landscapes at your own pace, away from the noise, enjoying an authentic and luminous winter.

From December to March, the mornings are often cold and the snowpack quite load-bearing: set off early for easy progress and unobstructed views. After a snowfall, the undergrowth is enchanting; in strong winds on the ridges, prefer forest routes. The weather is often sunny, but check the weather and snow conditions before setting off, as well as the avalanche bulletin if you leave the marked sectors.

Families will appreciate the gentle loops on the edge of the forest, ideal for initiating young and old alike. More athletic walkers will want to aim for the ridges near Dormillouse for panoramic views of the Ubaye and Écrins peaks. Each outing offers a different flavour: frosty mornings, luminous midday, golden afternoons.

On the practical side, layer up: breathable underwear, fleece, windbreaker. Waterproof boots, gaiters and poles recommended. Pack water, snacks, map or GPX track, sunglasses, sun cream, and a headlamp if you like to ride into the sunset. Stay on the recommended itineraries, keep dogs on a leash and respect wildlife.

When you choose to rent snowshoes at Montclar Les 2 Vallées, you have the freedom to set off at the best time, according to the day's weather, for a simple, gentle and unforgettable break.
