Disconnect to better (re)connect as a family with a snowshoe outing!
Published on 04/02/2026 - Written by Nadège
In the mountains, it's not always possible to share a sporting activity with your children. Downhill skiing, for example, is a winter sport that requires a great deal of training before it can be practised safely, as does snowboarding.
So it's not often that children can hit the slopes of Courchevel 1850 with their parents. Fortunately, there are other winter activities in the French Alps that serve this purpose. This is particularly true of the snowshoe outings offered by the esf.
Accessible at a young age, around 6 or 8 on average, these outings are ideal for families who want to spend time together during their holidays!
