Aravis Snowshoeing: 5-day course with guided half-day mountain excursions

Snowshoe Course in the Aravis: 5 Half-Days in the Heart of the Bornes-Aravis Massif

Join us for a snowshoe course in the Aravis consisting of 5 half-days exploring the most beautiful trails of the Bornes-Aravis Massif, through snow-covered forests, alpine meadows, and breathtaking panoramic views.

Guided by mountain guides from the Annecy Guide Office, you’ll explore iconic snowshoe hiking sites in the Aravis. You’ll discover the Follières Plateau, renowned for its wild landscapes and vast forests.

This snowshoe adventure will also take you to the famous Glières Plateau, a historic site associated with the Resistance fighters, before you enjoy a spectacular view of the village of Le Grand-Bornand, under the watchful gaze of the ibexes of the Bargy Massif.

The Col des Aravis will be one of the highlights of the trip, featuring a scenic hike offering breathtaking views of Mont Blanc.

Most outings take place on mid-mountain trails, selected for their safety, away from avalanche-prone areas and off the beaten path, so you can fully enjoy the nature and tranquility of the Aravis.
