About this activity

What if you discovered the mountains after dark? Strap on your snowshoes, switch on your head torch and set off to explore the snowy trails. It's a whole different way to enjoy the mountains, in the peace and quiet of the night ❄️

*Private outing for you or your group only, so it can be tailored to your abilities and wishes* Head out on a snowshoe walk at dusk and see the mountains from a different angle. With Olivier, a local guide in Chamonix, you'll enjoy a friendly outing exploring the snowy landscapes, far from the bustle of the day. Along the way, Olivier will introduce you to the特 features of the mountains in winter, the wildlife and plants, and a few stories about life at altitude. The route is accessible and no previous snowshoeing experience is needed. It's a lovely way to ease into the activity, whether you're a complete beginner or simply curious about nature. With snowshoes on your feet, poles in your hands and a head torch on, we'll set off for around two hours' walking on snowy paths with moderate terrain. As the evening unfolds, you'll discover an atmosphere very different from the daytime: the silence of the mountains, the summits in the dark and, sometimes, stars overhead. We're due back in Chamonix at around 20:30, after a break in the mountains that makes a change from the usual valley activities. **Practical information** The start of the walk is about 15 minutes from the centre of Chamonix. To make getting there easier, I can offer a free lift from Chamonix or Les Houches, for up to 4 people. We'll meet about 30 minutes before sunset, though this is flexible to suit you. **Fancy experiencing the mountains differently?** This snowshoe outing isn't just for evenings. It can also be arranged during the day, so you can make the most of the scenery and the light on the Mont-Blanc massif. Another option is to set off in the late afternoon and watch the sunset from the trails. The outing can be adapted to your wishes and the conditions on the day, so you can discover the Chamonix mountains at your own pace.

I'm Olivier, and I've been a hiking guide (and a good deal more!) since 2020. It's my only job, and I'm truly grateful to be able to show my clients the Alps. Seeing the mountains through their fresh eyes, I relive the feelings I had discovering them as a child. What matters most to me isn't just leading you to the lesser-known spots. It's also, and above all, giving context to the landscapes we walk through by sharing what I know about mountain ecosystems, in a way that holds your interest (or at least, I do my best!). Every outing I offer is private, meaning it's just for you or your group. That means everything can be tailored, from the start time to the level to the content of the day. See you soon, face to face with Mont-Blanc!
