What's the plan?
We'll stay in a very charming and comfortable "chalet" isolated on top of a mountain (there are just 2 other chalets next by). Here are the ingredients of the week: hiking, collecting mushrooms, cooking ad eating all together around a big table, having some rest, reading, playing board games, getting in the outdoor hot tub ad watch the stars or whatever else you want to do. Everyday, I will offer you to go for a different hike in the region (long ones or short ones) and everyone can choose to go for the hike or stay at the chalet and relax.
​
Note that the hikes may vary according to external/weather conditions):

Accommodation & Meals
We’ll stay in a typical "chalet Savoyard". It's an old farm that has been rearranged with love in a big and comfortable house. The house is full of good vibes. There are 4 doubles rooms and a dormitory with 5 single beds. We'll buy the groceries together and cook together. There is a big kitchen with a nice table for 15 people and a great garden with amazing views and a cosy outdoor hot tub.
