Snowshoe Samoens As a qualified ´Accompagnateur en Montagnes´ I'd love to show you around in our winter wonderland My name is Arno de Jong, alias Snowshoe Samoëns.

I am Dutch, living in France and speaking to you in English so everyone is capable to understand. I love to share my passion for the outdoors and my wonderful backyard with you. In the winter I am organising awesome snowshoe adventures in the winter wonderland of Samoëns. As a French qualified ‘Accompagnateur en Montagnes’ I am allowed to lead you around on snowshoes in the winter and on hikingboo

ts and mountainbikes in the summer. There’s more than just skiing and snowboarding here in the Grand Massif, so why not get away from the crowds? Far from the pistes, you’ll discover utterly magical, Narnia-like landscapes. Snowshoe walks make snowy winter terrain accessible to anyone and everyone. Whether you take a half or full day to conquer a summit, stroll through the woods, or build an igloo as a family, there’s an excursion to suit your needs. The Haut-Giffre valley offers a range of extraordinary walking itineraries. Take a guided walk in the company of a professional in order to find the most beautiful paths and enjoy the most spectacular views over the Mont Blanc range. Whatever your level of fitness, there’s a route to suit you. A am specialized in custommade group-outings, so contact me for a half or full day our or even multiple day adventures with an overnight in a refuge or igloo?!
