In a few words

To celebrate the New Year away from the hustle and bustle, this 4-day stay in the heart of the Vercors region offers a true winter escape. Nestled at an altitude of 1,300 meters , a comfortable mountain refuge becomes our base camp for exploring, on snowshoes , a wild and unspoiled territory. Surrounded by snow-covered forests and silent ridges, this natural haven offers a complete change of scenery. Each day spent hiking the trails of the regional natural park ends in the warmth of the refuge, around an authentic and hearty meal. To extend the relaxation, an open-air Nordic bath , heated by a wood fire, awaits us under the stars. The atmosphere is convivial and conducive to letting go, ideal for welcoming the New Year in a gentle and rejuvenating ambiance.

The highlights

  • In the heart of the snow-covered mountains of the Vercors!
  • A refuge perched at 1300m altitude
  • Nordic bath heated by a wood fire!

    We met our guide in Autrans, in the heart of the Vercors mountains, late in the morning. After checking our individual equipment, we set off on our snowshoes. The path climbed through a beautiful forest, occasionally intersected by cross-country ski trails, and opened onto the Gève plateau, where we discovered our refuge for the next three nights. After settling in, we went for a short exploration of the surrounding area before returning to enjoy the comfort of our first night in the refuge.
