In order to reduce our ecological footprint in the valley of Chamonix, we will use public transportation.
The sharp and steep mountains surrounding Chamonix make most hikes a struggle for beginners. However there is one place where everyone can experience and enjoy a true snowshoeing adventure: Tréléchamps
From Montroc, we will go for an easy snowshoeing walk that can be shorten anytime if you are tired or jet lagged from a long day trip. This tour should open your appetite for what is following: a delicious three courses dinner to discover our (cheesy) local cuisine while the flames coming from the fire place make you feel at home. I’m sure this moment within this old farm will cheer you up before braving the darkness with our headlamp a second time to walk back to our starting point.

This snowshoe adventure dining is for people who like having a physical activity. It takes two and a half hours to navigate through the forrest. The track is not too challenging but can be really steep time to time. The Chapeau Hut has a priceless location not too far from civilization but still remote enough to enjoy the calm and the beauties of the mountains. I have known Thierry for a long time now and I use to visit him at least once a month to appreciate both the view and his “cuisine”!
