Enjoy a unique experience on the Plaine-Joux plateau, with your guide, Boris, who will take you into the heart of snow-covered mountain pastures. With snowshoes on and headlamp on, you'll make your way through powder snow for 20 minutes to reach the igloo. The table and benches are carved out of the snow and covered with animal skins to keep you warm. The fondue, by candlelight, will have something extra. A total disconnect for a magical moment to share with family and friends.
