Great Things For The Non Skiing Family Members To Do - Part 1

Have you ever wondered what else there is to do in a ski resort? Well look no further as there are various activities that will appeal to the young and old. Thiss week I wanted to suggest to non skiers and snowboarders, and for those that might like to try something different,snowshoeing.

If you like to be active and you love the outdoors then snow shoeing may well be for you. Many resorts have groomed pisted walkways which are great for beginners. Follow the signs to enjoy a marked circuit or perhaps take some time out to plan an itinerary. Not sure where to go or what to do then you can always hire a private guide or take instruction from a ski school. In the ski resort of Les Houches there is a groomed track which takes you on a scenic adventure and starts from the top of the Prarion Lift station. The path starts from the Hotel Prarion and from here you will find the sign posted circuit is easy to follow as it meanders through the trees and along the piste. If you don’t fancy walking the whole way you can cheat and cross the un-groomed snow to miss parts out.

The ESF ski school offers snow shoeing for as little as 32€ (snowshoes rental included). Lift passes for walkers can be purchased at a special rate. Interested, let me know and I cqn provide further information and contaacts.
