In a few words

Just 30 minutes from Grenoble , this snowshoeing micro-adventure immerses you in the pristine silence of the Vercors high plateaus . Guided by a passionate instructor, you'll explore a preserved territory with an almost polar atmosphere. Over the course of a weekend, you'll learn to master the art of pulka sledding , using Nordic sleds that make walking easier by lightening the load. The experience culminates in building your own igloo , a highlight of a stay focused on self-reliance and pushing your limits. Facing the Grand Veymont , an iconic peak of the massif, the spectacular panoramas evoke the vast wilderness of the North . An accessible winter adventure , ideal for experiencing life in cold conditions and dreaming of future Arctic exploration trips.

The highlights

  • Hike safely in France's largest nature reserve
  • A refuge situated in an exceptional setting
  • An ideal terrain for preparing for major Nordic expeditions.
