What if you truly unplugged this summer?
Noise, stress, screens everywhere — city life wears you down. As summer approaches, the call of silence, fresh air, and starry skies grows stronger. What if real freedom was simply going to the mountains and letting nature do the rest? Add a few refreshing activities, and you’ve got the perfect getaway waiting for you.
Summer in the mountains isn’t just for hikers or thrill-seekers. Above all, it’s a refuge for anyone looking to reconnect with what truly matters. In July and August, far from the crowded beaches of France, the mountains offer a genuine way to unplug and explore—featuring stunning landscapes, countless hiking trails, and the chance to discover local wildlife, plants, and all the natural beauty the area has to offer!
No need to go fast or far. Hiking is the most accessible—and truly essential—activity in the mountains. And when we talk about hiking, it doesn’t necessarily mean walking for hours or climbing steep peaks: many trails are suitable for beginners, families, or anyone who simply wants to enjoy beautiful landscapes. Hiking offers a genuine way to unplug: surrounded by nature, breathe fresh air and take in the very best the mountains have to offer. You can stroll through flower-filled alpine meadows, reach a high-altitude lake, spot marmots or chamois, learn to read animal tracks, or identify local plants! And what better way to experience all this than with a guide who knows the trails like the back of their hand? Join a small group on routes adapted to your level and interests with Evolution 2, offering hikes in some of the most beautiful mountain resorts in France.
Have you ever slept under the stars? In the mountains, bivouacking is an experience in itself. This isn’t your typical campsite — here, you set off with a guide, carry only the essentials, and pitch your tent in a quiet, secluded spot. Spending a night in the heart of nature is true disconnection. You quickly feel small in the face of the mountains, and that feeling brings a beautiful sense of freedom. Watching the sun set and rise over the peaks is pure magic — and the total silence at night fully immerses you in the moment. And the best part? You can try it for yourself in Megève!
What if you gave your body and mind a gentle break in the heart of nature? This summer, discover our private Outdoor Spa in Val Cenis — a peaceful haven nestled in the mountains. In this unique setting, between sky and peaks, let yourself be embraced by the warmth of a Nordic hot tub and the refreshing contrast of cold water points, before enjoying a perfectly heated sauna. It’s the ideal way to unwind after a day in the mountains and fully savor the moment. A perfect balance of wellness and nature — to slow down and make the most of summer at altitude!
Among the most original activities to try in the mountains during summer, cani-rando offers a fun — and often surprising — experience. It involves hiking while being attached to a Nordic dog, often a husky or sled dog, using a belt and a stretchy lead. Don’t worry — the dog doesn’t pull like it would with a sled. Instead, it gently sets the pace and adds a bit of rhythm to your walk. Before you know it, you’ve formed a unique bond with your four-legged teammate. Perfect for both kids and adults, cani-rando makes hiking more accessible, more dynamic, and helps you go further without really noticing the effort. Supervised by experienced guides, it’s also a great opportunity to learn about pack life, canine training, and mountain work. In the end, it’s a special way to connect with nature — alongside a loyal companion.
With over 30 years of experience in outdoor activities, Evolution 2 guides you through small group or private outings accessible to all. The goal is simple: discovery and enjoyment. Whether you come alone, as a couple, or with family, the guides tailor the experience to your expectations and level! So, what does summer in the mountains really look like? It’s about living simple, memorable experiences in a stunning setting, surrounded by the best nature has to offer — far from the stress of city life. We look forward to welcoming you in the mountains this summer!
