Intro

A favourite with groups, this activity combines sport with local gastronomy and culture in the midst of unspoiled nature and with the backdrop of an impressive wintry panorama! With a snowshoe hike, visit to the hamlet of Colombire, traditional meal and descent by sledge, the participants are in for an unforgettable evening!

Led by a mountain guide, this programme includes an ascent on snowshoes (around 1.5 hours) from Aminona to the hamlet of Colombire, situated at an altitude of 1,850 metres above Crans-Montana Aminona. A visit to the mayens (traditional wood and stone buildings) and the eco-museum will be followed by a traditional meal aimed at introducing you to local and regional produce: wood-fired raclette with polenta and potatoes, cheese fondue or alpine macaroni. Equipped with a head torch, the participants will make the journey back down to Aminona by sledge.
