Comments
In winter, skiing is also possible. Every morning, we drive those who want to ski to the ski slopes, which are only 15 minutes from the house.
What's the plan?
During this week, we will stay in a beautiful and charming chalet, located in a peaceful and privileged spot in the mountains. The idea is not only to come hiking, but also to enjoy everything that surrounds the experience: the landscapes, the fresh air, the calm, the shared moments, and that simpler rhythm that appears when we are far from the city.
Each day, we will propose a different hike in the region. Some will be longer, some gentler, and we will always try to adapt to the weather, the group’s energy, and whatever feels most appealing in the moment. The idea is to combine beautiful hikes with flexibility, and enjoy the mountains without unnecessary rigidity.
And when we come back to the chalet, the other part of the journey begins: resting, reading, cooking, sharing meals around a big table, playing board games, enjoying the hot outdoor Nordic bath, stargazing, or simply doing nothing and enjoying the place.
This is a trip designed to reconnect with nature, move every day, and at the same time enjoy a simple and pleasant shared experience in a spectacular setting.
A trip with a shared-living spirit
This trip has a slightly special format and is more community-oriented than other getaways. We stay in a family house and share not only the hikes, but also part of daily life: meals, small moments of organization, and a few everyday tasks.
That is why it is important for us to take care of the group atmosphere. This trip tends to suit especially well people who enjoy a more authentic and less rigid kind of travel: where not everything is decided in advance, there is space for improvisation, cooking together, sharing, and simply letting the mountains and the group experience work their magic.
In winter, each day, you can decide to join the guide for nice hikes and snowshoes hiking (Easy -intermediate level) or you can decide to go skiing/snowboarding. We'll take you to the slopes in the morning and pick you back up in the afternoon.
Note that the hikes may vary according to external/weather conditions):

Accommodation & Meals
We will stay in a typical Savoyard chalet. It is an old farmhouse that has been lovingly transformed into a large and comfortable house, full of charm and good vibes.
There are 5 rooms with a double bed, one room with 2 beds and one room with 3 beds. We also have a large kitchen, a beautiful table to share meals, a big garden with amazing views, a hot outdoor Nordic bath, 2 toilets and 2 showers.
The owners of the house also stay in the chalet, in a private part of the house. Getting to know them is part of the experience and part of the charm of this week in the Alps.
During the week, you can choose whether you prefer to buy and cook your own food, or join the group to buy food together and cook together.
