Snowshoeing
walks and hikes

In Saint-Gervais, several signposted snowshoeing trails start from Le Bettex (alt. 1400m) and Saint-Nicolas. The oldest winter sport in the world, snowshoeing has become a favourite leisure activity amongst lovers of the nature and its wonders. You may come across chamois or mountain hare amongst others during your walk.

It’s great winter exercise: If you’re looking for a way to stay in shape even when the snow falls, snowshoeing is an excellent low-impact aerobic exercise. It lets you extend your hiking and running season.

It’s a great social activity: All ages and ability levels can enjoy the sport together.
