Snowshoeing is an amazing and up-and-coming activity which allows you to tread deep into the virgin snow covered landscape of the Alps or Pyrenees without the expense or experience required for off-piste skiing. Wearing specially designed plastic 'raquettes' which spread your weight out over the snow you are able to explore a silent and majestic world of snow covered forests and frozen lakes.
Snowshoeing in the Porte du Soleil area of the Massif Central in the French Alps.
Dates for 2010:
Every week from 12th December 2009 til 20th April 2010. Saturday to Saturday.
Price: 4 day break £565, 8 day holiday £725

We currently offer a walking holiday in the Pyrenees at the wonderful Mas Forge which is a converted iron forge nestled on its own private land in the Languedoc-Rousillon region near Vernet-le-Bain and Villefranche. The sun rises and sets on Mt Canigou each day and we take in the breathtaking scenery on a wonderfully varied itinerary of mountain walks, thermal spas and visits to ancient rural towns and villages.
