I always thought snow-shoeing or "raquettes" as the French call it was something I would save for later in life. However that time has come early... not becuase I suddenly got old, but becuase I have a thirst for going further and further off piste.
There are many suberb back country runs in the 3 valleys. Some of the descents take combes or valleys that are a bit of a journey from the top of the nearest lift. If you ski its not so bad - but if you snowboard you soon get tired (physically and mentally) of plowing throught knee deep snow.
So pop your raquettes out of the pack and prance off across the surface with your board under your arm :-) You can pick up a set for about €100 in any decent sports shop - and open up a whole new world of experience.
