More about winter

There's more to it than just alpine skiing or snowboarding.

Cross country skiing

94.5Kms of pistes including 50K in The Giffre valley and a high altitude site on the Col de Joux Plane with fabulous views of Mont Blanc. This latter is linked by bus to Samoens. There are further slopes at Praz de Lys and near Les Carroz.

Snow shoeing

Guided walks are available with a variety of providers at Joux Plane, Morillon, Verchaix & Sixt. Take the opportunity to see an aspect of the mountains that you'll miss if you just stay on your skis.
