**The stunning Chablais mountains are situated in the western Alps , and crossing them is a dream for mountaineers and nature lovers alike. On this eight day  Chablais snowshoe traverse from Megevette to Lake Geneva we get to do just that!** And then wrap it up at a world class spa in the mountains!

Our journey begins with a pickup at the Geneva airport to transfer you to Megevette. The pickup will be arranged at a set time. It is also possible for you to make your own travel arrangements to Megevette, however it must be coordinated. As long as you make it in time to the hotel for a trip briefing and our first great dinner together,  all will be fine. Then, the next day, we will start early to get to Bellevaux. On the way, we will see some stunning sights and pass through some incredible spots as we begin our exploration of the Chablais mountains on our way to Lake Geneva. From then on, every day we will follow a similar snowshoe routine with approximately 7 hours of walking per day. **Along the way, we will go through forests, pastures, mountains, and encounter hamlets, chapels and more!**

Of course it will require some preparation. However, it won’t all be sweat and hard work! Not only will we catch some stunning sights, **we will also be staying in superb hotels and sharing amazing meals together.** Furthermore, b**ecause the luggage transfer is included, we will be able to travel comfortably during the day.** Consequently, although the trip requires a good level of fitness and will be demanding, it will be very enjoyable too. Also, keep in mind that I will be there to guide you every step of the way. And, last but definitely not least, **our last stop will be at the renowned Evian-les-Bains spa town on the shore of Lake Geneva.** So you will definitely get some well deserved pampering at our destination! 

So, are you ready for a trip of a lifetime? Then **book your place now and join me on this Chablais snowshoe traverse from Megevette to Lake Geneva!** I will be happy to show you the way!

On the first day of our journey we offer a transfer at a fixed time from Geneva to Megevette. If you are not able to make it on this schedule and wish to meet directly in Megevette, this can also be arranged.

In the evening, after meeting at the hotel, we will have a short briefing of the trip, and then we will have a good dinner to prepare for the day ahead on the following morning.
