Entering the Urtier valley in winter, means opening the body, hearth and mind to wonderful white word, having a snowy soft cover.
It is quite difficult to describe the enchanting atmosphere while admiring the larch and spruce woods, but it’s much easier to experience it while snowshoeing in the same woods. A real paradise of wilderness in front of the Grivola peak.
