Activity description

This 3 day and 2 night week-end in the vallée de la Clarée (accomodation in a shelter) is ideal for those who want to try itinerant hiking and for those who have already tried it and who wish want to do it again.

You will head off to the vallée de la Clarée, a magical and wild place where the animals are kings during winter. You will spend the night in 2 different shelters, the Laval shlter and the Chardonnet shelter. These two shelters are very weel equipped and the food is absolutely delicious! The equipment (snowshoes and poles) is included. It's an itinerant trip so each participant carries their own bag with their personal belongings for the night. However, you will only be gone for 3 days so your bag shouldn't weigh more than 7 kilos.
