Aiguille du Fruit snowshoeing tour (Vanoise)

Description

I propose you to leave for a 2-day very beautiful winter immersion, snowshoeing around the magnificent and majestic Aiguille du Fruit mountain in the Vanoise National Park.

During this crossing from Courchevel to Méribel, two very famous ski resorts, you will discover and hike a wild itinerary made of wide open spaces, in the heart of the Tarentaise valley in Savoie. You will also have the opportunity to spend the night in the middle of the mountains, in an unguarded hut.

If the schedulded dates do not suit you, do not hesitate to propose me yours. I can arrange the tour for you and for your group of hikers.

For the more gourmet, I also offer snowshoeing and igloo fondue evenings in Méribel throughout the winter.

And if you like snowy treks, I propose other magnificent itineraries in the region:

• two days of snowshoeing in Beaufortain,
• four days of snowshoeing trek in Vanoise around the Pointe de la Sana.

In case you want to discover this beautiful wild place at another time of the year, you can opt for this Aiguille du Fruit tour in summer and with a bivouac.
