This snowshoeing holiday is a discovery holiday : it is mainly aimed at people who want to discover the activity and who are not especially great sportsmen ! The efforts are not violent and the altitude differences are modest ! The main thing is to enjoy yourself.
In addition to the playful aspect of these outings, this snowshoeing holiday will put you on the road to autonomy.
Make the right choices in terms of route finding, safety (we will learn how to use an ARVA/DVA and how to probe the snow), and finally enjoy the magnificent Champsaurin landscapes under the sun of the high Alps by walking at our own pace !

Strong points : Welcome in our gite on Gap, transport in minibus 8 people.
Supervision by attentive mountain professional. Diversity and beauty of the sites.
Discovery and progression of the snowshoe activity adapted to the group of convivial size (max 8 people).
