Description
The Savoyard Escape comes in two versions depending on the season and your wishes. The evening version — the most iconic — begins at nightfall with a moonlit snowshoe ascent, guided by our qualified instructors. On arrival, a carefully selected altitude site welcomes you for dinner. The sledge or parêt descent closes the evening in a festive and unforgettable atmosphere. For groups wishing to experience it during the day, the snowshoe ascent and descent formula is available, offering the same exceptional Aravis panoramas. Several sites are offered depending on your location, your preferred meal setting and chosen descent — other venues can be considered on request.
- 3 to 4 hours (ascent, dinner, descent)
- All group sizes
Dinner is to be booked directly by you with the venue of your choice — Takamaka can advise on partner venues depending on your arrival site. Warm, waterproof clothing and snow-appropriate footwear are essential. The evening version takes place after dark — bring extra thermal layers. In the event of unfavourable weather conditions, Takamaka adapts the programme and notifies you as promptly as possible.
