Good morning,


Thank you for your feedback and we are delighted that your stay in the Vercors was positive.

We have taken note of your comment regarding accessibility. While the description mentions routes adapted to different levels, the trip is indeed classified as "Intermediate" on our technical sheet, with some days involving up to 700m of elevation gain.

We hope to see you again soon for a new adventure, with complete clarity on the physical commitment.

The trip was advertised as suitable for all levels when it should have been labeled as athletic! Three people dropped out on the second day and four on the third. Seven hours of snowshoeing a day in powder snow is definitely athletic! Especially since the pace was quite fast!

Good morning,


Thank you for your feedback. We regret that the physical intensity of this trip caused difficulties and some dropouts within the group.

As indicated on the information sheet, this trip is classified as "Intermediate" level, with 7 hours of activity per day, which does indeed require a good level of physical fitness, especially in fresh snow. However, we have identified a mention of "all levels" in the general description which may have been misleading; we are correcting it immediately to avoid any future confusion.

We are also passing on your comment about the fast pace to our local partner.
