Voucher valid for a day-long snowshoe outing.The Glières plateau is a high place of the French resistance during the Second World War where many resistance fighters took refuge during the winter of 1944 while waiting to receive parachutes from weapons from the allies. From a topographical point of view, it is a magnificent plateau located at 1400m, dotted with spruce forest and meadows, which in some respects resembles the great expanses of Canada. This combe configuration allows for better snow retention and ensures that we can make our tracks in good quality snow most of the winter. The area is wild and unspoiled because it is far from alpine ski resorts. The only skiing activity practiced on the plateau is cross-country skiing. It is therefore a snowshoe's paradise because there are many possibilities to evolve off-trail and the terrain perfectly suited. This will give you a much better chance of encountering animal tracks that your guide will teach you to recognize and who may know it will be a wolf!
