In a few words
Treat yourself to a true rejuvenating retreat in the heart of the unspoiled forests of the Buëch . Between fragrant pine groves and the soothing murmur of the stream, this stay invites you to slow down and rediscover a profound sense of self . Far from the daily grind, you'll experience water fasting , an ancient method ideal in spring or autumn to initiate a complete cleansing of the body.
By giving your digestive system a rest, you allow your body to activate a true metabolic reset . This natural detox process promotes the elimination of toxins and excess fat, thus releasing new energy. It's a time to clear your mind , slim down, and reconnect with your true needs .
Each day is an invitation to willingly let go and listen to your senses. Supported by the vitality of the natural world, this journey towards simplicity offers you a renewed sense of openness. More than just rest, experience an inner transformation where silence and nature become your greatest allies for lasting well-being.

Located in Gap, at the gateway to the Écrins National Park, I accompany you on your journey… in your challenge… all year round in these magnificent valleys such as Dévoluy, Champsaur, Valgaudemar, Buëch, Embrunnais and many others, according to your desires!
Whether alone, with family or in a group, whatever your level or objectives, we will go for walks, hikes, day and night, for a few hours, a day or for a multi-day raid (in bivouac or refuge) to discover the wonders of the mountains: wide open spaces, lakes, sunrises and sunsets, fauna (chamois, ibex, marmots but also birds and insects), Alpine flora, cultural heritage…
