In order to reduce our ecological footprint in the valley of Chamonix, we will use public transportation or one car/van.
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. After one hour walking on snow our nose will start noticing some tasty smells. Let’s find out which chimney the smell comes from to open our appetite! Enjoy a delicious three courses dinner to discover our (cheesy) local cuisine with the flames from the fire place warming your back. I’m sure this moment in this old farm will cheer you up before braving the darkness a second time to end our loop to our starting point.

For more informations, download this hiking level guide (French but easy to understand).
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 sincerely appreciate both the view and his “cuisine”!

I don’t want to spoil you about what’s going to happen up there but trust me, you won’t be fooled about the quality of our full-course dinner and animations. A great way to celebrate an event with your relatives or friends.
