How it works ?

Joining a snowshoe hike on the Mont Blanc glacier is an adrenaline-filled experience, meticulously organized to ensure maximum comfort and safety. The adventure begins in Courmayeur at the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car base station, where you will meet your Mountain Guide. After a short safety briefing and the distribution of technical equipment (snowshoes, harness, and poles), you will board the rotating cabins up to Punta Helbronner at 3,462 meters.

Once at the top, after admiring the views from the panoramic terraces, you will put on your snowshoes and join the rope team: this allows you to walk in total safety across perennial glaciers, exploring Col du Toula and Col de Rochefort. The route is a circular itinerary of approximately 3 hours, without excessive slopes, making it ideal for those seeking a "slow" version of the famous Vallée Blanche. At the end of the tour, you can enjoy the return to the valley at your own pace, exploring the cable car stations and their incredible exhibition spaces.

Who is the activity for

Snowshoeing on the Mont Blanc glacier is the ideal adventure for anyone wishing to experience the high mountains as a protagonist without necessarily being an expert mountaineer. Thanks to the gentle slopes of Col du Toula and Rochefort, the itinerary is accessible to every hiker in good physical condition who desires to explore the purity of perennial ice.

This activity is the perfect solution for non-skiers who have always dreamed of crossing the legendary Vallée Blanche in "slow mode," as well as for couples or groups seeking a memorable shared experience among granite spires. The excursion is also open to young adventurers and minors aged 10 and up, provided they are accompanied by a parent and ready for an unforgettable day.

No specific technical experience is required, as your Mountain Guide will provide all the necessary instructions and support to ensure you move with total safety and comfort at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.
