Snowshoeing around Pra Loup

Accueil 100% Snow Snowshoeing around Pra Loup

Want to break away from the hectic pace of everyday life? In Pra Loup, snowshoes invite you to experience the mountains differently. Here, there are no queues, no noise, just the silence of the snow-covered fir trees, the fresh air, and that rare feeling of being in touch with the essential.

Walking on snowshoes is giving yourself a breather. A pause. Whether you are alone, as a couple, with friends or with the children, you will find an itinerary adapted to your desire of the day : contemplative, sporty, fun or educational.
