Sustainability news

Whether you’re out snowshoeing or hiking, please stay on the marked trails to protect the flora (which is sometimes hidden under the snow) and avoid disturbing wildlife.

Guided snowshoe walks Moments that brighten up the winter

At Chambéry Montagnes, snowshoeing is an experience in itself. We set off in the early morning to follow the animals’ tracks. We walk at sunset. We set off on night-time walks, headlamps on, before toasting marshmallows by the fire. We share an aperitif whilst gazing at the peaks or a well-deserved fondue in a cosy inn.

Challenge: have a go at the Trappers’ Crossing 

Cross-country skiing + snowshoeing = the ultimate adventure!

With the “Traversée des Trappeurs” package, explore the Savoie Grand Revard ski area in a whole new way. A turnkey package to experience the mountains in all their glory.

Playing racket sports really works up an appetite!

After or during a snowshoe outing, what could be better than enjoying a lovely, comforting meal? Savour a fondue by the fireside, a well-deserved blueberry tart, or a hot drink in a cosy inn.

Discover some ideas for tasty breaks along our snowshoe trails.

Fancy something a bit more energetic?

Between snowshoe outings, why not give Nordic walking a go? With its poles and energetic stride, it offers the perfect blend of nature, fitness and fresh air. Across the vast snow-covered plateaus of Savoie Grand Revard, you’ll find yourself carried along by the rhythm, amidst silent forests and invigorating panoramic views. Another way to enjoy winter… whilst keeping fit!
