Semnoz is a well-known mountain in the Annecy region of Haute-Savoie. Located at the northern end of the Bauges massif, between Annecy to the north and Allèves to the south, it is home to a wildlife park, a botanical garden, a ski resort, and much more. However, for those looking to explore Semnoz off the beaten track, there’s nothing quite like a snowshoe hike.
New to the area? No problem—your guide Christophe, a qualified mountain leader and local expert, will be there to lead the way. Starting from the car park of the Basilica of the Visitation in Annecy, he will take you along quiet, lesser-known trails, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Mont Blanc.
This snowshoe hike covers a total of 6 km with 150 metres of elevation gain. The route is relatively easy and provides a great opportunity to learn more about the local flora and fauna through your guide’s insights. Even without any prior snowshoeing experience, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this immersive and adaptable outdoor activity.
So why wait? Book your guided snowshoe hike on Semnoz now and set off on a safe and memorable winter adventure!
