My desire toDiscovery

Here, you can explore while having fun and learning. Whether you come with curious children, intrepid teenagers or the whole tribe together, the mountain spirit is also lived in discovery mode. Treasure hunts, fun trails, workshops with animals, nights in refuges or micro-adventures to share… Everything is designed to arouse curiosity and create memories together.

And that’s not all: here, the mountains are also told through scientific and cultural activities that fascinate young and old alike. Observe the stars, understand the fauna, discover local know-how… Each activity is an opportunity to learn by wonder. All this with a deep respect for nature: the preservation of the environment is at the heart of each experience.

Animations
Scientific and cultural

Here, the mountains are experienced as much as they are understood. Throughout the year, we offer scientific and cultural activities to arouse everyone’s curiosity: naturalist walks to meet the fauna, workshops on alpine flora, astronomical observation evenings, visits on the theme of climate change or meetings with those who shape the territory.

From the preservation of ecosystems to sustainable tourism, through the behind-the-scenes of local companies, these meetings are all opportunities to learn, exchange and take a new look at the mountains… while respecting it.
