Snowshoeing in the Alps - Full Day Trip From Aosta

We will go snowshoeing somewhere in the Alps (indicatively no more than an hour and a half away from Aosta, one way). The exact venue for our snowshoeing adventure depends on the weather and snow conditions on the day. NOTE: THIS ACTIVITY CAN ONLY BE OFFERED IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ADEQUATE SNOW COVER, THEREFORE IT IS INDICATIVELY AVAILABLE BETWEEN DECEMBER AND MARCH ONLY. Using snowshoes to walk on the snow you can savor the beauty of mountains and nature in wintertime, far from madding crowds. You don't have to be an 'expert' - if you can walk, you can use snowshoes! Snowshoeing is easy and fun. All you need is (of course) a pair of snowshoes, a pair of hiking poles, (all of the above will be provided by the guide) plus waterproof hiking boots (low hiking shoes or sneakers won't work!), and standard winter hiking clothes (including gloves, hat, and sunglasses). Avalanche safety sets (beacon, probe and shovel) will also be provided by the guide, if deemed necessary due to the nature of the terrain.

-The venue for the hike will be chosen by the guide a few days before the scheduled trip, depending on the weather forecast, snow conditions, and level of fitness of the participants. -In general, however, the hike will take place on a mountain in the Alps, within 1. 5 hours' drive (one way) from the city of Aosta. -Before the start of the hike, the guide will provide adequate instructions for using the snowshoes, as well as the avalanche safety set (beacon, shovel, and probe). -The duration of the hike can be adjusted in accordance with the participants' wishes, however it typically consists in a loop, with a total walking time of 4-5 hours (excluding breaks), and an elevation gain/loss between 400 and 700 meters.
