In a few words

Hiking will soon hold no secrets for you! Want to take your first steps in hiking or gain more independence for new adventures ? This trip is designed for those who wish to discover mountain walking and learn all the tips and tricks for preparing for a mountain outing. Each itinerary has been carefully planned to offer safe progression and varied experiences: from forest tracks to narrower paths, from vast beech forests to high-altitude meadows, along a stream or in the shade of towering mountain firs, you'll progress at your own pace, taking the time to observe the wildlife, flora , and mountain landscapes.

Accompanied by a friendly professional, you'll learn how to equip yourself properly and adopt the right habits to make your hike a truly enjoyable experience . Returning to the gîte marks another highlight of the day: time to relax by the river or in the lounge, before enjoying a convivial home-cooked meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The highlights

  • Supportive guidance from a nature hiking guide
  • A comfortable and welcoming cottage at the foot of the mountain
  • A single group of up to 8 people

The expert's opinion

You have little or no experience hiking in the mountains, but you maintain your fitness with regular walking or cycling . You have no contraindications to hiking in the mountains.

Do you want to gain autonomy and "performance" in relation to the practice of hiking (concepts of orientation and mapping, learning to prepare your outing safely, managing your pace and effort, little tips and tricks that make all the difference in the mountains ;-) ...)

A magical interlude: three days of hiking through magnificent landscapes, with knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate nature guides who explained the plants, rocks, and wildlife, all with full board—and what board it was! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and the meals were exquisite. Pure bliss!
