Every winter tour here belongs to one of three camps: snowshoes in the Chamonix valley with a private guide, snowshoes from Courmayeur on the Italian side, or a day on skis — with one dog outing from Megève alongside. The Chamonix walks cost more and are the only ones with reviews; the Courmayeur walks are cheaper and new.
Under the stars in Chamonix, or by day in Val Ferret
Mont Blanc Snowshoeing Tour
Quick answerThe Snowshoe Walk Under the Stars in Chamonix is the one to book: €200 per person for 3.5 hours with a private guide and hotel pickup, ★5.0 from 13 reviews. The cheapest snowshoe walk is the small-group one from Courmayeur at €80 — new, with no reviews yet.

“We opted for a day experience instead on night. It was honestly so magical and Olivier was an amazing guide. He adjusted his pace for us and even helped us take great pictures. 💯 would recommend!”

“It was a wonderful experience and Oliver was a great guide for the hike! He provided us with mulled apple juice and shared his knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. Slowed down the pace when we needed and was fun to chat with. The hike itself… the trail was beautiful and peaceful.”

No ski tour on sale — a lesson, a ski day and an off-piste guide instead
Chamonix Mont Blanc Skitour: What Is Sold on Skis
Skis and dogs
There is no ski-touring product among the listings. The nearest is Private off-piste skiing with a high mountain guide: 7 hours of challenging routes for very good skiers, €850 per group of 1 to 4, new. For a first day on skis, the Private 1st Ski Lesson at Les Planards, 10 minutes on foot from central Chamonix, gives 3 hours with an instructor, skis and clothing.
The From Geneva: Chamonix Full-Day Ski Trip at €233 puts the bus, rental skis or a snowboard, ski clothes and a pass to three areas — Brévent-Flégère, Grands-Montets and Balme — in one price, ★4.4 from 170 reviews. An option adds the Aiguille du Midi cable car in the morning for €271. There is no instructor.
Dog sledding in Megève
Two hours with the dogs for €75 per person, ★4.3 from 3 reviews. All three reviews are from July and August 2026 and describe hiking with the dogs over hilly terrain, not a sled — ask what runs on your winter date before you book.

Questions exactly as people ask them
Mont Blanc Snowshoeing Tour Questions
How much is a snowshoeing tour near Mont Blanc?
€80 per person for the three-hour small-group walk in Val Ferret from Courmayeur, €120 for the five-hour private one, €100 for the two-hour glacier snowshoe, and €200 per person for the night walk in Chamonix with a private guide and hotel pickup. Per-group tours in Chamonix are €270 for up to eight for three hours, or €320 for up to two for a full day. Prices are the floors on 30 Sep 2026.
Can you snowshoe on Mont Blanc itself?
No. Mont Blanc is 4,807 m and its normal route, the Goûter Route, takes two days of climbing with a guide. The snowshoe tours on sale stay on trails in the Chamonix valley and in Val Ferret, with the massif in view. A guided climb costs €1,154–3,360 per person with a guide for every two climbers, and is not sold on GetYourGuide.
Is there a glacier snowshoe tour with a guide?
Yes, one: the Mont Blanc Glacier Snowshoe Tour with Guide from Courmayeur, €100 per person for two hours in the morning on high-altitude glacial terrain at 3,466 m with a certified alpine guide, in a small group. It is new, with no reviews yet. On 30 Sep 2026 it had 26 open days, from 20 December 2026 to 18 March 2027. The other snowshoe walks stay on valley and forest trails in Chamonix and Val Ferret.
Do I need experience to go snowshoeing?
No. The full private day in Chamonix is sold as suitable for everyone, and reviewers of the night walk include first-timers: one says it was hard at first but the guide took his time and went at a comfortable pace. The walks are guided, and the private ones adjust the route and speed to your group. One reviewer calls the night walk an introduction to the mountains.
Is snowshoeing better in Chamonix or Courmayeur?
Chamonix for a reviewed guide: the night walk has ★5.0 from 13 reviews, with hotel pickup, at €200 per person. Courmayeur for price: Val Ferret walks cost €80–120 per person but are new, with no reviews yet. Courmayeur also has the only glacier snowshoe walk, at €100. Chamonix and Courmayeur are linked by the 11.6 km Mont Blanc Tunnel, so a stay in one town can reach both sides.
Is equipment included on the snowshoe tours?
Yes on the Guided Snowshoeing Tour with Equipment, which says so in its title, at €270 for a group of up to eight. On the night walk, reviewers describe the snowshoes and the lamp as part of the evening, and some mention tea, chocolate or warm apple juice from the guide. Check the listing of the Val Ferret walks for what they supply before you pack your own.
Can I do a ski tour in Chamonix with a guide?
No ski-touring product is on sale on GetYourGuide on 30 Sep 2026. The nearest is Private off-piste skiing in Chamonix with a high mountain guide: seven hours on challenging routes for very good skiers, €850 per group of one to four, new with no reviews yet. Beginners have the private first lesson at Les Planards instead, or the ski day from Geneva with rental and a pass.
Can I combine snowshoeing with the Chamonix Full-Day Ski Trip from Geneva?
No, not in one booking: the ski trip, €233, includes the bus, rental skis or a snowboard, ski clothes and a pass to three areas, but no snowshoes and no instructor. Its 103 open days run 19 Dec 2026 – 31 Mar 2027. To add a snowshoe walk, stay a night in Chamonix and book the night walk at €200, or the €270 group tour. The Geneva trip is a day on skis only.
Which winter tour near Mont Blanc includes the Aiguille du Midi cable car?
Only one: the Chamonix Full-Day Ski Trip from Geneva sells an option with the cable car in the morning, at €271 instead of €233. None of the snowshoe walks includes a lift, and the Aiguille du Midi is closed 2 Nov – 19 Dec 2026 anyway. After the 19th the cable car climbs from 1,035 m to 3,842 m; bought on its own, the adult return is €60.20–83.00, with a free reservation.
Is there dog sledding near Mont Blanc?
Dog sledding in Megève is on sale at €75 per person for two hours, ★4.3 from 3 reviews. The three reviews are from July and August 2026 and describe a hike with the dogs over hilly terrain, so ask the operator what runs on your winter date before you book. One reviewer mentions the dogs are rescue dogs rather than purebred huskies.
Can I go snowshoeing at night?
Yes — the Snowshoe Walk Under the Stars in Chamonix is built for it: three and a half hours on the snowy trails by lamplight with a private guide and hotel pickup, €200 per person, ★5.0 from 13 reviews. Reviewers single out the evening walk, and one group booked the same guide by day instead. It is a private tour, so the pace is yours.
