Description

Snowshoeing is one of the best ways to immerse yourself into the stunning natural beauty of winter. Join me on this day tour around Mount Mounier, in the Mercantour National Park, and enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the region.

The itinerary will take us through the slopes of Mount Mounier (2817m) to the Ars-Countent ridge (crête du Countent), in the Haut Cians valley. Mount Mounier is one of the most famous peaks in the Alpes- Maritimes.

This beautiful mountain is a vast white desert in winter, with breathtaking landscapes. As we hike on the slopes of Mount Mounier, we will discover beautiful places bathed in sunshine.

Then, we will reach a spectacular viewpoint, with stunning views over the Mercantour valleys: the Tinée, the Valdeblore, the Vésubie, the Haute Roya and its summits, the Beuil/Valberg plateaus to the Upper Var Valley, and even the Cheiron, the Prealps and the Verdon.

During this day, we’ll face an elevation gain of 500 meters and reach a maximum altitude of 2007 meters.

So, if you want to discover this beautiful region in winter with a great snowshoeing tour, just send me a request. You can either join me on a private tour or you can check the date below and join a group.

Mountain Leader

My passion is hiking and it has been since I was a child. I am a Mountain Leader, ready to make you gain altitude!
My goal is to live adventures in a wild nature. And there are as many possibilities as varied landscapes and seasons!
Always looking for new spaces, privileged and authentic moments, a preserved and wild nature... It's above all about plenitude and contemplation, trying each time to understand the beauty of the sceneries.
I am a former lawyer, also ski patroller specialized in nivology and meteorology. I cross the massif ski touring during the winter for my own pleasure.

What people are saying about Fabrice

I booked a tour with Fabrice on late May, definitely the highlight of my holiday, we went on a hike around Casterino It was a relaxed hike with great sights of mountain forests and lakes, I got to see some of the local fauna and flora of the park, ibex, marmots, chamois, although not as much as they would be in the area, possibly because of the wolfs (we saw some footprints). Overall it is a great way to see the surroundings. I would definitely recommend Fabrice as a guide for your next hike!
