SNOWSHOEING ADVENTURES
Join SHED TO SUMMIT on a small group or bespoke guided snowshoe adventure in the French Hautes-Pyrénées. Stay in a cosy Pyrenean Barn, explore magical snowy trails, and sightsee an area that the French like to keep a secret!
Winter Escape
Do you fancy experiencing the magic of the Hautes-Pyrénées mountains in the winter and trying one of the fastest growing winter sports?
Then join us on a snowshoe getaway, where you'll winter 'hike' through 'Narnia like' snow-clad forest trails and traverse un-touched snowy plateaus.
Along the way, you'll soak up the tranquility and refuel at traditional mountain cabanes with warm drinks (vin chaud is always an option!) and hearty lunches.
Accessible to all, snowshoeing equipment has evolved tremendously since the original wood and leather snowshoes; now lightweight, it is quick to learn and is the perfect way to enjoy the backcountry.

I had a fantastic four days staying at Chalet La Friaz. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails around the area. I especially liked the shorter 'local' run-up to Bellevue. This was a challenge, but I was rewarded with spectacular views at the top. The Shed was cosy and is uniquely situated. Highlights were drinks on the patio as the sun set and the sound of cowbells in the distance as I drifted off to sleep. Thanks again!

I had an amazing few days staying at Chalet La Friaz with my family. During my stay, I went on a trail run with Shed to Summit - a stunning 20km run straight up from the chalet. Got close to 2800m at the bemusement of the many heavily backpacked hikers we passed. Had time for a cafe stop near the top for cake and refreshments whilst taking in the view, before a great downhill single track loop back to the chalet - absolutely loved it, which is more than can be said for my legs! We were hosted superbly, and Kev does a very mean BBQ - highly recommended!
