Management
Sandra is a certified Mountain Guide and holds a state diploma. A local, she grew up at the foot of the Lauzière massif, which she has always explored: she knows every path, every alpine pasture and the best times to observe marmots and chamois.
Over the years, she has turned guiding into a true vocation. Her hikes are more than just walks: they are a living interpretation of the mountains, where she shares the local wildlife, flora, pastoral history, and legends. Attentive to each person's pace, she adapts the routes so that beginners and experienced hikers alike can fully enjoy the experience, in complete safety.
During the stay, she is the one who guides you on the 4 hikes — from the Col de la Madeleine to the high-altitude lakes — with the kindness and passion that make all the difference.
Laetitia is a yoga teacher. With several years of teaching experience, she has worked with a variety of students, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners, and knows how to create an atmosphere that is both demanding and supportive.
Her teaching method emphasizes listening to the body: each posture is offered with variations, so that no one ever feels out of place. She is particularly fond of practices ideal for releasing tension after a day of hiking and restoring deep sleep.
During the stay, she guides the daily sessions — from the invigorating wake-up facing the peaks to the gentle practices of the evening — to make each day a true time of reconnection.

Everything went well. Saint François Longchamp is a lovely little resort with beautiful hikes all around. The 3-star hotel is excellent. Sandra (hiking instructor) and Laetitia (yoga instructor) are attentive and very charming. I thought the hikes would be longer or more strenuous; it's hard to predict. I felt like I was in another world and I highly recommend it.
