Last month, four CILFA students, accompanied by their teacher, went up to the Semnoz ski resort for a snowshoeing outing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Le Semnoz, a ski resort 17 km from Annecy!<\/h2>\n

Every winter, as part of its educational activities, CILFA organizes a field trip to the Semnoz ski resort, located just a stone’s throw from Annecy.<\/p>\n

So, after a 30-minute bus ride through the Semnoz Forest, we arrived at the Nordic chalet to rent snowshoes. Some of the students weren\u2019t used to the mountains, so it was a special experience for them. The small group was very international: the students came from Taiwan, South Africa, and Syria! This diversity is characteristic of CILFA students. <\/p>\n

After putting on our snowshoes, we headed into the forest. It was mild out, and the sun was really shining. A storm of blue skies! We had our traditional snowball fight, but it stayed within reasonable limits this time. <\/p>\n

At the summit of Semnoz, we met a friendly group of French people who took a photo of us.<\/p>\n

The event wrapped up with a very enjoyable get-together on the resort\u2019s terrace, where some enjoyed a glass of mulled wine. The students, of course, took the opportunity to practice French as a foreign language! <\/p>\n

Everyone loved this mountain experience, and it even made some of them want to come back and try other winter sports available here: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ski touring, and sledding. You can even sleep in igloos at Semnoz: https:\/\/www.alpes-bivouac.com\/produits\/igloo\/<\/a> <\/p>\n
