Snowshoeing: an activity accessible to all
Compared with skiing or snowboarding, snowshoeing is finding it harder to gain a foothold in the major resorts. Yet snowshoeing offers a host of health benefits, allowing you to explore the snow-covered surroundings while building muscle and improving your cardiovascular system.
The benefits of this outdoor activity don't stop there, either, as snowshoeing doesn't cause any damage to knee joints, making it a complete sport that's accessible to most of us. Little ones can also enjoy snowshoeing, especially with the sessions at the esf Les Menuires.

On Wednesday afternoons, the Menuires esf offers snowshoe outings for children aged 4 and 5. Lasting 2.5 hours, these outdoor outings are an excellent way to keep them occupied, while introducing them to the ski area in an original way.
To make things easier, all the equipment is provided by the esf. So there's no need to buy snowshoes yourself, or hire them from elsewhere, as the instructors in charge already have everything they need on hand.
To make the walk even more fun, clues will have been hidden in the forest beforehand, and the children, equipped with their little snowshoes, will have the task of finding them, under the watchful eye of their guides. They'll be happy to tell you all about it at the end of the day!
