4. Hiking

Of course, it’s a must-do as soon as the good weather returns. Hiking is the most accessible activity: you choose your route, distance, elevation gain… so why not do it with a mountain guide who can also share everything there is to know about the local wildlife and flora, as well as the villages you pass through? It’s a family-friendly activity to enjoy in the mountains in spring.

Our hikes are all about conviviality and, above all, discovering the mountain ranges. Our guides are local experts, deeply familiar with their region and passionate about nature. The hike will be tailored to your wishes and abilities! All you have to do is choose the one you want to do.
