SNOWSHOEING
Ideal activity for non-skiers, it brings together children, parents and grandparents for a pleasant immersion into the nature.
Within two hours, half day or day walks, you discover the local forests of larches and spruces where animal footprints (mountain hare, deer, squirrel, ptarmigan, fox…) are so much evidence of the intense life that takes place in the mountains !
Explore as well some of the 50 hamlets of Saint Foy’s region, among which the famous classified hamlet of Monal. All these hamlets are the vestiges of the Savoyard way of life of the last century.
Our mountain leader will share with you all its extensive knowledge of wildlife and mountain lifestyle.
