Sunset on snowshoes: winter's most romantic rendez-vous
Published on 18/02/2026 - Written by Coline
For a weekend, a week or a few days, the mountains are the perfect place for a romantic break. With tasty meals, glasses of wine, a session at the spa or fun on the slopes, you have the ideal setting for combining relaxation and sport, while enjoying the splendid snow-covered panoramas.
But for nature lovers, esf Les Menuires has thought of everything: a snowshoeing outing at sunset. The perfect opportunity to enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the 3 Vallées together!
Snowshoeing : discover the mountains at your own pace
The mountains are full of activities for outdoor enthusiasts staying in the resort. In fact, rather than skiing or snowboarding, you can opt for a snowshoe walk, an activity that is as rejuvenating as it is exhilarating. Accompanied by a specialised guide, beginners and experienced holidaymakers alike can discover the flora and fauna of the surrounding area in an exceptional setting.
Snowshoeing is the ideal way to explore the wonderful snowy trails at your own pace, but it's also a great way to exercise your body and keep your joints in shape. Strengthening your muscles, developing your cardio and improving your endurance are just some of the benefits of hiking in the mountains.
As well as the physical benefits, snowshoeing in this splendid snowy setting is also good for your morale. Away from the crowds, you'll be able to enjoy a soothing atmosphere with your partner: a real break for two this winter.
