Description
Why don’t you come with me to this 2-day winter photo and snowshoeing trip in Haute Savoie? A combination of two great and fun activities in the same trip!
This amazing winter trip I am proposing you today is a fantastic opportunity to explore your artistic side and, at the same time, discover the secret places of the Val d’Arly in Haute Savoie. This valley lies between the massifs of Beaufortain, Aravis and Bauges, on the border of Savoie and Haute Savoie, in the French Alps.
During these 2 days, we’ll put our snowshoes on and let the landscape surprise us. On the way, you will find the best spots of the region and capture these moments with your camera. As a professional mountain photographer I will help you to reach the most outstanding sceneries of Haute Savoie.
They will be 2 days of pure shots and stunning paths. In addition to that, this trip takes place in small groups of participants. In that way, I can give you a more personalized photographic and technical advice and make you take the best from this snowshoe adventure.
Finally, at the bottom of this description you can read a sample itinerary of this weekend program in Haute Savoie. Please take into account that I can adapt any item to your wishes, expectations and technical level.

Itinerary
Day 1: FIRST SHOTS IN THE VALLEY
Presentation and briefing about the expectations of the trip. I can give you some lessons of the use of your camera. We leave the starting point by snowshoes and we’ll take the first photos in a natural environment. During the photo session I will teach you how to adjust your camera and take the best pictures without the automatic mode. We can also exchange photos with the other members of the group.
Then it’s time for a picnic lunch and a break. After that, we will continue in the search of new sites in Haute Savoie.
In the afternoon, we’ll snowshoe to the mountain hut where we’ll spend the night.
Day 2: MORE SNOWSHOEING AND PICTURES
Early in the morning we’ll meet to enjoy the morning lights, taking advantage of the beautiful sunshine in the snow-capped peaks.
According to your photos of the Day 1, we can look for different landscapes.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
