Welcome to Pip of the Alps

During the winter months I lead showshoe walks  in and around the Three Valleys (Tarentaise), Vanoise and Beaufortain.
A wonderful  way to see the mountains and spectacular views away from the hustle and bustle of the pistes. This can be a great alternative for non-skiers or just to make a change from the downhill runs. Please take a look at my snowshoeing page for more information.
When the weather is warmer and there is less snow on the ground I lead  walking trips in the Alps and the UK. From one day outings to longer walking holidays, there is no better way to discover all that the mountains have to offer. My summer walking page has more information.
