In a few words

Need to disconnect and breathe in the fresh air ? This weekend in Haute-Bléone invites you to leave the valley behind and experience a true nature escape in the heart of the Southern Alps . Here, time slows down and every step becomes an experience.

Far from the beaten track, you'll find yourself in a wild and unspoiled territory , ideal for observing alpine wildlife , where a chamois 's fleeting gaze might meet yours at a bend in the trail. Hiking takes on a new dimension: less about performance and more about sensations and contemplation .

The first day takes you to a panoramic summit , overlooking the valley and offering a spectacular 360° view. At the end of the day, relax in a private chalet deep in the forest , an unusual accommodation guaranteeing absolute peace and total disconnection .

The next day, a change of atmosphere with a walk following the traces of old mountain hamlets , witnesses to a pastoral life now returned to nature. A short but intense break , ideal for deep rejuvenation and leaving with a light heart, carried by the energy of the mountains .

The highlights

  • Total disconnection in the heart of the Haute-Bléone, a wild and unspoiled territory
  • Sleep in a cabin deep in the forest, all to yourself.
  • A 360° panoramic view and the exploration of forgotten secret villages

Timothée

Throughout your stay, you will be supervised by Timothée, a state-certified mountain guide, canyoning guide, and tracker-rescuer.

Here is what Timothée shares about his approach:

"Choosing to become a guide is not a trivial matter; I find in it a harmony between my passion for outdoor life and my professional project. From my childhood, where my preferred playground was the surrounding forest, I have retained a taste for nature; from my emotionally rich travels, the desire to accompany you on outdoor discoveries."

Laura will also be present during the stay to manage the logistics and cooking.

    • Duration of the activity 0h30
    • Positive elevation gain 200 m
    • Accommodation Private chalet
    • Breakfast not included
    • Lunch not included

    The group was welcomed at the village and set off on their adventure.

    We begin our immersion with the climb towards the Gaudichart refuge.

    This first ascent allows us to leave the valley behind us and to soak up the unique atmosphere of the mountain.

    Once we arrive, we will take the time to settle into this extraordinary place, a true base camp for our stay.

    We'll share a welcome drink to get to know each other. This will be an opportunity to introduce you a little more to the refuge managers: Laura, who will delight your taste buds all week with her generous cuisine, and Timothée, your guide, who will share his passion with you during each activity.

    The evening will continue with a convivial dinner before your first night in the chalet.

    On the logistics side: Enjoy the climb with peace of mind!

    Your luggage will be transported by us to the refuge using our electric winch.
