Discover life in the mountain pastures and spend an untypical night at an altitude of 2,000 Metres !
On the programme: a guided hike through the mountain pastures and lakes, meetings with shepherds and their flocks, then a convivial raclette at the foot of the majestic Petit Combin, accompanied by a tasting of local produce from the Grand Entremont region. After a peaceful night in the wilderness, enjoy a traditional mountain lunch, followed by a rejuvenating walk through the pastures. The experience ends with a visit to the dairy, where you'll learn all about Alpine know-how. A gourmet and human interlude, to be enjoyed in small groups.
