Full moon snowshoe hike – 20 February 2027

Are you tempted to walk under the stars in the silvery light of the full moon?

Join me for an extraordinary hike: setting off in the afternoon, walking at dusk, then returning at night illuminated by the moon. The landscape transforms, shadows dance across the snow, and the silence of the mountain becomes almost palpable. It is a total change of scenery, a magical experience that few people have lived.

An unforgettable evening of mystery, beauty and contemplation.

Limited places – do not miss this nocturnal adventure!

Why do we use an avalanche transceiver?

When snowshoeing, we travel on unsecured routes. Unlike ski slopes, snowshoe trails – even marked ones – are mostly not secured against avalanches. Marked trails are generally chosen to minimise this risk. Unmarked routes, however, are classified according to a rating (WT1 to WT6) based on the terrain; rescue equipment in case of an avalanche is not necessary for the first level (WT1). Depending on the chosen route, it will therefore be necessary – or not – to bring this equipment, which consists of an avalanche transceiver, a probe, and a shovel.

Let me reassure you: as a Mountain leader, I select my routes with the utmost care. I analyse weather reports and the avalanche bulletin daily to choose the safest paths. Safety remains my absolute priority. Safety remains my absolute priority.

The avalanche transceiver is therefore not a sign of imminent danger, but a precautionary measure that allows us to evolve on snowy terrain – much like a helmet when cycling.

Do not have avalanche rescue equipment? I rent this equipment.
