The expert's opinion

This trip is designed to be accessible to as many people as possible , regardless of their physical condition. Activities are led by professional guides, are progressive, and suitable for beginners.

The stay takes place in a comfortable and welcoming hotel. However, it includes an exceptional overnight experience in a chalet surrounded by nature, offering an immersive experience with simple and authentic comforts (outdoor toilets), which is an integral part of the experience.

Due to the length of some outdoor excursions and the overnight stay in a communal cabin, we do not recommend it for children under 6–7 years old.


If you are traveling with a child between 6 and 11 years old, please indicate the child's age as 12 when booking (the minimum age required to proceed with the reservation process). Also, remember to select the "Traveling with children?" option. An advisor will then contact you to adjust the fare based on the child's actual age and confirm your booking.

Return air transport from Paris only is included in the price of your stay.


Flight times and departure airport will be communicated to participants during the fall of 2026.


Nevertheless, flight plans are similar from year to year:

On the outbound journey, the flight usually takes off from Paris quite early in the morning, or even very early.

On the return flight, it usually lands in Paris in the afternoon, or even in the early evening.


If you live outside of Paris or abroad (or even in the Paris suburbs but far from the airport), you will almost certainly need to book a hotel room in Paris the night before your departure . Ideally, you should choose a room near the airport.


On your return, if you live nearby, you might be able to get back to your home region the same day. However, if you need to book a train or another flight, we strongly recommend allowing plenty of time between the two connections and avoiding non-modifiable and non-refundable tickets . Even though flights are generally punctual, delays beyond our control can still occur.


Approximately two weeks before departure, you will receive an airport summons.

This document must be presented when checking in luggage, along with your valid identity document (passport or national identity card).
