Full moon snowshoe hike

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’s a complete change of scenery, a magical experience that few have ever had.

An unforgettable evening of mystery, beauty and contemplation.

Limited places – Don’t miss out on this night-time adventure!

These hikes are partly part of the «les sentiers francophones» theme.

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.
