Snowshoeing and fondue in the Maurienne valley (Savoie)

Description

I propose a fondue under the stars or the full moon after a short snowshoe hike in the heart of Savoie's Maurienne valley.

In the heart of the mountains, in a nice spot away from the family-friendly resort of Albiez-Montrond, we'll take a long gourmet break with mulled wine and hot apple juice as an aperitif, before the scent of Beaufort fondue fills the air.

You'll enjoy a pleasant day or evening away from the usual, in the friendly atmosphere of a small group.

The hike starts closer to your accommodation.

The hike is suitable for children aged 5 and over.

If you'd like to enjoy other winter outings in the valley, I also offer:

• a trapper's hike with snowshoes in the Maurienne forests,
• a snowshoe hike at the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves,
• a gourmet snowshoe hike to discover the local heritage in Albiez,
• an ANENA avalanche rescue training in the Maurienne,
• a chamois and other Savoie mountain wildlife watching
• and a gourmet walk with a visit to the cow milking farm in Albiez.
