⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Snowshoeing the Great St Bernard Pass
Alps Adventures have created the most amazing trip! Three days of snowshoeing, a stay at the Great St Bernard hospice, visits to a Christmas market and a laiterie for local delicacies and finishing it all up meeting some beautiful cuddly St Bernard dogs. Tom and his team of guides are great, so full of knowledge and fun! (Helen December 2023)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our guide Tom, was knowledgeable, interesting and funny. The trip was just amazing, helped by the fact Tom made everyone feel included and brought the whole team together, regardless of age or ability. Dinner with monks was an experience, the cheese factory was fun, and cuddling the dogs was awsome. (Ben December 2023)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Loves the trip. The guide, Tom, is very experienced and looks out for you. He made sure that each of us are well taken care of, comfortable and confident with our heads, and feels engaged. Tom highlighted many interesting sights and stories along the way which enhanced the experience, learning about the landscape and wild lives around. Highly recommended to someone thinking of exploring the journey to St. Bernard monastery, or simply trying snow shoes hiking for the first time! And the bonus (if you are lucky), to taste some yummy home baked flapjack cakes. (Jenny December 2022)
Have a private ensuite room while we are in the Valley; this option is not available at the Grand Saint Bernard Hospice.
Your guide will collect you at Martigny train station at 16:00, a direct train ride from Geneva airport. We'll then enjoy group introductions, and you'll have a chance to settle into the accommodation before dinner.
We will issue you with all your equipment, show you how to fit it and conduct a safety training exercise. Perhaps a slice of cake and a cup of tea ☕️, too!
