Snowshoe hike with fondue

Hiking and fine dining: the perfect combination for enjoying winter in a different way!

After putting on our snowshoes and walking along peaceful snow-covered paths, we will take a well-deserved break to enjoy an authentic fondue prepared by us. Yes, in the middle of nature, with all the equipment taken out of the rucksack! And between bites, you can take the opportunity to admire the snow-covered landscape around us.

A day where culinary delights and fresh air come together for an unforgettable social occasion.

Why do we use an avalanche transceiver?

When snowshoeing, we travel on unsecured routes. Unlike ski slopes, snowshoe trails – even marked ones – are largely unprotected against avalanches. Marked routes are generally positioned in such a way as to minimise risk. Depending on the conditions on the day and the route, it may or may not be necessary to carry avalanche rescue equipment.

This is why carrying an avalanche transceiver, along with a probe and a shovel, is generally mandatory for every participant. This equipment constitutes basic emergency equipment.

Rest assured: as a mountain leader, I select routes with the utmost care. I analyse the weather reports and avalanche bulletins every day to select the safest routes. Safety is my absolute priority.

The avalanche transceiver is therefore not a sign of imminent danger, but a precautionary measure that allows us to travel in snowy terrain. It’s like wearing a helmet when cycling.
