Snowshoeing

Either in winter or in summer, hiking is never risk free. Outside groomed and marked trails you are under your own responsability. While hiking, snowshoeing or ski touring you need to be careful, prepare your day out in advance and respect these simple rules:

→ Check regurlarly the weather forecast, knowing that in winter the days are shorter.

→ Have a look at the avalanche report to find information about the snow conditions.

→ Keep yourself warm and take with you some spare clothes no matter how long the hike is; in high altitude and close to the mountains the weather can be harsh and change dramatically. 

→ Make sure you have more than enough water and food to keep you going during your activity.

→ Choose a suitable itinerary fitting your physical conditions and in tune with your skills and knowledge of the environment around you.

→ Get informed on the route you choose from itinerary guide books.

→ Do not go alone and let people know where you go with an estimated time of return.

→ If the itinerary gets too hard or in case of doubts you can always turn back.

→ Get ready your avanche security kit with a transceiver, a shovel and a probe.

Do not hesitate to ask our profesionnals for a guided tour outside of the marked itinaries.
