In a few words

Meet us at nightfall at the gateway to the Écrins National Park to put on our snowshoes and discover the natural environment in a whole new way. We'll set off on a snowshoe hike to reach the Serre Chevalier trapper camp. A friendly aperitif awaits you around the campfire, followed by a 100% local cheese fondue in the Finnish tipi, with the crackling of the wood-burning stove. The evening ends with dessert and toasted marshmallows around the fire – a guaranteed trip down memory lane. The return journey will be a gentle stroll along the banks of the Guisane River.

The highlights

  • An unusual evening in a tipi heated by a wood-burning stove
  • A tasting of a 100% local fondue
