BIGFOOT WINTER ACTIVITIES

Chamonix is one of the premier ski resorts in the world. There is something for everyone, nursery slopes for beginners, plenty of blue and red slopes for intermediates and plenty of challenging Black slopes for the more accomplished skiers.

For those who like off piste skiing or the extreme skier it is one of the top 5 destinations in the world. If you are up to it, he famous Vallee Blanche is a must.

If you don’t ski, there is also plenty to do. Mountaineering, trekking, paragliding, helicopter rides, Husky Rides, wonderful spas, indoor swimming and tennis plus lots more.

At Bigfoot you can organise activities which are tailor-made just for you, or we can book you into ski school or activities where the groups have already been organised.

Activities with the "WOW factor"

1) The italian job.

It is no exagerration when this evening is described as a "once in a lifetime experience" . You are driven through the Mont Blanc tunnel where you are met by a convoy of snow mobiles, who then whisk you through a magical landscape at night up to a mountain hideaway high on Mont blanc. You then eat a wonderful meal then finally, you can either ski back down or be driven in a snow mobile. This is an amazing adventure.

2) Husky rides

You are driven to the picture postcard village of La tours where you join a team of huskies and their trainers. You then are taken on a magical trail through the mountains. The wonderful extra is that you are in control of your own huskies. An incredible experience.
