In a few words
It is in the heart of the Vanoise National Park that we invite you to immerse yourself in order to reconnect with the winter mountains and with yourself.
Before your arrival , three remote sophrology sessions will prepare you for this interlude.
The three days on site alternate between guided moments and independent exploration: a yoga session, a Pilates session, and three snowshoeing or hiking routes of your choice via your personalized road book.
Two brunches will punctuate your stay: local produce, fresh pastries, mountain cheeses, and hot drinks. Accommodation is in a wooden chalet at the Huttopia campsite in Bozel-en-Vanoise.
This stay is not a collection of activities – it's an invitation to forge your own path, guided but free. The vibrant energy of the Vanoise region will do the rest.

Arrival between 10am and 1pm at your convenience
Meet at the chalet to get acquainted and set the stage for your stay. We'll take some time together to review the three sophrology sessions you've already completed in preparation (your mind is ready!), the schedule for the coming days, and all the practical details. You'll drop off your belongings and pick up your snowshoes.
First self-guided walk: La Rosière
Head to the magical site of La Rosière for your first outing on snowshoes or on foot, depending on snow and weather conditions.
In winter, La Rosière transforms into a cottony, silent world. The frozen lake sleeps beneath the snow, the frosted spruces create ghostly silhouettes, and the calm is absolute. You move through a landscape reminiscent of the Canadian Far North, where only the crunch of your footsteps in the snow breaks the silence. The vast white expanse envelops you; you are already elsewhere, already reconnected.
This first contact with the winter mountain is done gently, at your own pace, to tame the terrain and let the scenery work its magic.
Back to the chalet for a recovery yoga session
In the late afternoon, we meet for our first gentle yoga session. Targeted stretches, mindful breathing, and tension release. Your body adapts to the altitude and integrates this first day in the mountains. You've arrived, you feel good.

Time to quietly enjoy your homemade brunch.
Self-guided day trip with road book: The classified glacial valley of Champagny-le-Haut -
This preserved place, gateway to the Vanoise National Park, immerses you in absolute mountain authenticity.
You travel between the traditional hamlets of the valley - true witnesses of a preserved Savoyard architecture.
Your path runs along the Doron on the left bank and follows the "Laisonnay" cross-country ski trail, marked by 7 themed panels that tell you about the fauna, flora, and geology of this territory.
Winter transforms this valley into a silent, white sanctuary. Chamois tracks in the fresh snow, golden eagles soaring above the ridges—you are at the heart of an exceptional natural heritage, with a frosty, Canadian atmosphere that transports you to another world. Waterfalls carved by the U-shaped hanging valleys freeze into ice sculptures or continue to flow depending on the intensity of the frost, adding a magical dimension to the landscape.
Return to the chalet in the late afternoon
You return home feeling peaceful, enriched by this day of total immersion. The evening is free to enjoy your chalet: prepare your raclette or fondue.

Last self-guided walk: Le Praz - Lake and Montcharvet
Head to Lac du Praz for a final immersion in the winter beauty of Courchevel. This peaceful spot offers a moment of contemplation facing a frozen lake surrounded by snow-covered forests.
You then continue on to Montcharvet, a peaceful hamlet secluded from the world. The authentic atmosphere of the old Savoyard chalets, the absolute calm, the unobstructed view of the mountains: you end your stay in style, with the feeling of having experienced what truly matters.
Return with your heart full of this adventure and your body transformed. You leave a different person.
