On the Plateau des Glières, snowshoe trekking takes on a unique dimension. The signposted trails wind through unspoilt countryside, offering silence, serenity and majestic views. Every step is an invitation to switch off, in a wintry atmosphere conducive to contemplation. But there’s more to this place than its natural beauty: it’s also a place of remembrance. In 1944, the Maquis fought here for freedom. Today, the Monument national de la Résistance is a reminder of this history, adding an emotional depth to every walk. After the effort, the mountain inns extend the experience. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you can savour the essential Savoyard dishes: tartiflette, cheese crust or polenta with Reblochon cheese, all served with mulled wine. At Les Glières, nature, history and gourmet pleasures come together for an unforgettable winter break.
