Advice for hikers
Most of the classic summer walking itineraries are unadvised during the winter months. Hiking outside of the resort’s safe domain requires personal responsibility and respecting specific safety regulations:
Look closely at your chosen itinerary and the possible risks
Take into account the weather forecast and snow conditions including avalanche risk
The correct clothing and equipment for physical exertion in cold conditions
Provide your itinerary information to your friends or family, or to where you are staying
Snowshoes (even if they have improved in design) are not adapted to steep slopes, or frozen hardpack snow.
