Hello fellow Glocals,
I have arrived in Geneva in 2008 and have recently joined glocals. Previously I was living in Brussels, and am enjoying having moved to the foot of the Alps. I thought I'd send this post to introduce myself to the network and, at the same time, ask for some advice.
I have recently discovered the joys of snowshoe hiking, and am keen to do more of it. Two friends will visit me next week, and we plan to do a small snowshoe trek of three days & two nights. The plan is to walk, say, 6 hours each day, and then spend the nights in a different chalet/hotel/refuge. The start and arrival points should be reachable by public transport from Geneva, or be linked by public transport, so we can get back to the car parked at the starting point. Another possibility would of course be a round circuit.
While in good physical shape, and able to read a map, none of us are mountaineers nor particularly experienced in snowshoe walking. I'm therefore looking for a trek that, while it can be tiring, is not particularly technically difficult or dangerous. I was thinking about the Jura, but am open to other places too.
Are there people out there who would be willing to share their recommendations for such an itinerary with me?
That would be greatly appreciated!
I send you my best wishes and hope to meet many of you in the coming months!
Christian
