Praméruel – Snowshoeing in Courchevel on the Trail of the Wolf

Discover Praméruel, one of the wildest areas around Courchevel, on a guided snowshoe hike through forest, snowy valleys and spectacular mountain scenery.

This outing takes you away from the busy ski slopes and into a quieter natural environment, where you can look for tracks left in the snow by the animals that live in the mountains around Courchevel.

Following the tracks of Courchevel’s wildlife

The hike begins with a gentle climb through the Courchevel forest. In the snow, every footprint can tell a story.

Your guide will help you identify signs left by local wildlife, including tracks from chamois, deer, roe deer and, occasionally, the wolf if it has passed through the area.

Learning to recognise footprints, understand how animals move through the landscape and interpret signs in the snow adds a fascinating dimension to this snowshoeing experience.

Of course, wolf tracks can never be guaranteed. That uncertainty is part of what makes exploring a wild mountain environment so special.

A wild valley with views of the Aiguille du Fruit

As you gradually leave the forest, you reach the beautiful Praméruel valley.

The landscape opens up to reveal the surrounding peaks of Courchevel, including a superb view of the Aiguille du Fruit.

A tea break gives you time to enjoy the peace, the sunshine when conditions allow, and the unique atmosphere of this snow-covered valley.

The pleasure of descending through powder snow

After the break, it is time for one of the most enjoyable parts of the outing: the descent.

When snow conditions are good, your guide will look for the best sections to enjoy fresh powder snow and experience the real pleasure of snowshoeing away from groomed trails.

It is a fun and accessible descent that shows just how enjoyable mountain snowshoeing can be.
