Snowshoeing

Through the silence of winter

Snowshoeing while on holiday in Switzerland gives you a whole lot of benefits at once. You’re physically active and can enjoy the soothing peace of the snow-covered Valais winter landscape off the beaten track, not to mention the unique mountain panorama and the Great Aletsch Glacier. Walking on snowshoes, you move across the deep whiteness almost as elegantly as a deer, leaving your own tracks in the pristine winter landscape.

With a guide

Guided snowshoe tours

A guided snowshoe tour with a local guide will take you to some of the most beautiful, unspoilt natural spots in the Aletsch Arena. During the day, evening or night.
