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, folloiwing an itinerary that will let us discover the origins of the village of Cogne.
