We had a very pleasant stay at the Hotel Bellevue. The managers were very welcoming, the hotel was very clean, and the homemade food was delicious and prepared with local products. The group was very friendly, and we had two excellent guides for our snowshoe hikes. A truly enriching experience.

Snowshoeing trip in the Cantal region. The guide adapted to the weather conditions: a hike on a snow-free day, caution on a windy day, and a lovely forest trail the day after a beautiful snowfall. The organization was top-notch: accommodation, meals, transportation, equipment rental... A fantastic group with wonderful encounters.
