Snowshoe rental in Valfréjus is the perfect way to make the most of the mountains in winter. Nestled in the heart of the Maurienne, the resort offers peaceful itineraries on the edge of larch forests, views of the Thabor massif and Punta Bagna, and walks accessible to all. Follow the Charmaix valley to its little perched chapel, or venture to the Lavoir mountain pastures when conditions permit. On snowshoes, you can enjoy the silence, observe animal tracks and enjoy a truly timeless experience.

As for the weather, opt for cold, sunny mornings for more stable snow and crystal-clear panoramas. From December to March, snow cover is generally optimal. After a snowfall or when there's a strong wind, find out about the avalanche risk and stay on the marked trails. At the end of winter, the snow softens in the afternoon on sunny slopes; leave early, or choose shady slopes for better gliding.
