Alps Hiking: Snowshoe Discovery Hike—The Mouflons of Montagne de Uble

The Vallon des Munes, below the Praz de Lys, is covered in a magnificent blanket of snow and is home to a large and varied array of wildlife.
Mouflons and chamois can very often be spotted either with the naked eye or through binoculars.

After picking you up either in front of the Samoëns tourist office or at our office, we’ll drive you in our minibuses along the road to Praz de Lys.

We’ll put on our snowshoes at the entrance to a small valley and make our way up a gentle slope. The Boutigny torrent, cascading below the trail, adds a touch of charm.
Mouflon were introduced about 50 years ago and can often be spotted on the southern slope of Mount Uble. We’ll tell you all about these animals and the challenges they’ve faced in adapting to their new environment.

Chamois are also very numerous on the steeper slopes, and it’s not uncommon to see foxes and, occasionally, deer.
It’s not a zoo, but we rarely come back empty-handed!
