Snowshoeing is more popular in French ski resorts than anywhere else, and in Valmeinier they take their snowshoeing very seriously, albeit in a fun way, with multiple variants on a simple walk in the snowy woods!
Daytime snowshoe hikes of varying lengths and themes are offered by several companies including Aaland Nature (+33 (0)6 70 22 33 22; aaland-nature.fr) They offer an evening hike option complete with night vision binoculars called, “Meet The Wolves.”
Alternatively ‘Snowshoe Walks with Lulue” are offered by Lucienne Zinant (+33 (0)4 79 56 56 75) with the focus on having fun as you walk, for the whole family with snow games and mountain stories.
There’s a third company offering snowshoeing too, Bouzandoc (+33 (0)6 22 36 53 28; bouzandoc.com), and Sylvain Ichard (+33 (0)6 33 36 65 45) offers ‘gourmet snowshoe treks’ which include a scrumptious picnic en route and possibly a full fondue meal at the end.
