Description

An absolute highlight of the Alps of France, the Chamonix valley is a fantastic place to visit, explore and enjoy. And on this trip, I would like to provide you with a truly unique manner which you can enjoy this great place, a half-day, moonlight snowshoeing trek.

From 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm, you will get to trek on a lovely trail, while admiring the gorgeous Chamonix scenery under the gleam of star and moonlight. Much different at night than during the day, the landscape seems even more peaceful in the evening. It has a sheen, a magical glint, that only comes out after the sun sets. And it creates an atmosphere that has to be seen to be believed.

The trek is not very strenuous. It is more about enjoying the scenery and the snowshoeing experience, as opposed to rigorously trying to challenge you. As a result, this trip is ideal for people of all skill levels. So no matter if you’ve never snowshoed before, or are an expert, you can enjoy this great trip. However, participants should be in good physical condition.

This trip includes everything you need, from your personal snowshoeing equipment to transportation from your hotel. That means all you have you to bring on this trip is enthusiasm to see the Chamonix valley under the moon and stars.

If this unique trip sounds like something you think you want to participate in, just send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you.

I also offer a full day, private snowshoeing tour through Chamonix, which you can enjoy here.

What people are saying about -Emma & Guides' team

The service Emma provided us was outstanding. Everything went well and as planned. Trip descriptions, route informations and Emma's recommendations was all provided in the App and hard copy. All we had to do was show up and hike. No worries about booking hotels and transportations. Hotels booked for us were all clean, comfortable with full breakfast. The dinners that some hotels provided was very delicious. I highly recommend Cloud 9 Adventure to anybody. Thank you Emma for an unforgettable trip!

We had an amazing day hiking with Jason admiring views of Mont Blanc, the Bionnassay glacier and waterfalls. Jason was knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area, and tailored the hike according to what we wanted to see as well as our physical capacity. We are grateful he brought us on a trail we wouldn’t have known about otherwise! Emma was also a great help with coordination and brainstorming ideas with us in the lead-up to the hike. Highly recommend!

Emma Jack- You are incredible. Nothing I can say here would justify the experience you gave us. I will just say thank you and we’ll be reaching out to you again to plan our future adventures.

Cloud 9 fit everything we were searching for. You can not find a better team with experience and care for service than Cloud 9. If you are looking for the hiking trip of lifetime, I urge you to look at the web site and send an email to Cloud 9 to learn more about their services for The Tour du Mont Blanc.

I had the time of my life on a Tour du Mont Blanc Trip organized by Cloud 9. I took the trip with my sisters and we were guided by Ronan, an experienced French guide. I could not have asked for a better experience. All of the accommodations were lovely, and Ronan helped ensure each day was magical regardless of the weather. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone considering the TMB.
