This three-day snowshoe trek will let you experience a self-guided winter hike, carrying all your gear in your backpack as you travel from mountain hut to mountain hut. Along the way, you’ll be treated to stunning winter panoramas and a complete escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s the perfect weekend for those looking to experience a winter adventure while enjoying the comfort of a mountain hut where they can sleep and recharge.
This wilderness snowshoeing adventure will help you get to grips with equipment and the weight of a pack on a self-sufficient hike. Thanks to our guide, you'll enjoy a safe, supervised experience that will equip you to feel more confident and autonomous for future outings of this style.
The pace is generally slower and the physical effort more demanding on a long winter hike. A real adventure, you have to be prepared to walk long days on the Philosore trail. But believe us, it's a magnificent trail, well worth the effort in winter!
Snowshoes are mandatory and if you have crampons, we suggest you bring them too.
You'll find the full list of equipment required in the "To Know" tab.
Accommodation is in a dormitory in a refuge (without service), reserved for our group.

We cannot guarantee a menu free of cross-contamination—we are not in a controlled environment. Please contact us if you have any concerns or questions!
We need a minimum number of participants for the trip to go ahead. If you're thinking of signing up, please do so soon!
