Opening : From 11/01 to 16/03/2025.

Spend a weekend in the heart of the snow-covered Monts d'Ardèche and put yourself in the shoes of a trapper from the Far North.
A weekend of snowshoe trekking in the Massif Central, with an unusual night in a bivouac.

Depending on where you come from, the Monts d'Ardèche are the first or last mountains of the eastern Massif Central. This mountainous region is full of contrasts, with one part under a strong Mediterranean influence and another enjoying a mountain climate and snow in winter.
It's in this part of the Monts d'Ardèche, at an altitude of over 1,200 metres, that we propose this weekend or these 2 days of snowshoeing, with a night in a winter bivouac in an igloo or heated tepee/tent.
A unique Nordic adventure in the Monts d'Ardèche!


2 days / 1 night / 2 half-day snowshoeing activities. Not too difficult.
From 3 to 10 people. From 12 years old. Groups of individuals. Possibility of 2 people for a supplement of 75€/pers. Groups of 4 people or more, departure date at your convenience.
