Snowshoeing in the Pays de La Meije
This new sporting adventure is for you. Your routes will be supervised by our local mountain guides. At the hotel, you'll be pampered and looked after by our team around Sabrina and David.
The Grand Briançonnais region on the edge of the Hautes Alpes is an unspoilt area, dedicated to freedom in a still wild environment. We invite you to discover its natural and human riches, its larch forests, its glacial beauty, its omnipresent fauna (chamois, roe deer and ibex) and its history.
►Day 1 - Welcome and installation
On arrival at the hotel, you'll take time to settle in and get to know the team. Afterwards, an aperitif will be served in the presence of your tour leader, where you'll receive advice and a friendly introduction to your stay. In the evening, you can relax and enjoy a meal served in our restaurant from 7.30pm.
A briefing with your mountain leader is scheduled for 6.15pm.

We'll take advantage of the passage through the hamlet of Les Clôts to develop a theme on the traditional architecture of the Haute Romanche.
