    1. Snowshoeing and Hiking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the winter months, non-skiers can pull on a pair of snowshoes or \u2018raquettes\u2019 and head up the hills. Snowshoes cover a larger surface area than hiking boots, preventing walkers from sinking into the deep snow underfoot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This activity is well-suited to those who do not ski or prefer a sport with less impact on their joints. Not only is it great exercise, but also a fantastic opportunity to discover the scenery around Combloux and its local wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Confident walkers who are familiar with their surroundings can hire snowshoes<\/a> themselves and set off solo. However, we would recommend if it is your first time snowshoeing, or you aren\u2019t confident with snow conditions or navigation, that you go with a guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Biking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you\u2019re visiting Combloux in the winter or summer months, biking is a viable option all year round! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In summer, there are plenty of cycling routes<\/a> and mountain biking trails<\/a> with varying difficulties to choose from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Combloux is better suited to more experienced cyclists and mountain bikers as some of the routes require high levels of fitness and are pretty lengthy. However, beginner mountain bikers aged 12 and over can book a guided tour<\/a> of the surrounding areas, learn the basic techniques and gain some confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In winter, there\u2019s still the opportunity to get out and about on two wheels! Combloux offers excursions on \u2018e fat bikes\u2019 (electric mountain bikes with large wheels to withstand snowy conditions). If you fancy half a day trying something different to skiing or boarding, then this could be a great option for you. See the website<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
