An unforgettable experience in the Haut Verdon Mercantour.
We offer you the chance to discover the local heritage and to immerse yourself in unique landscapes such as Lac d’Allos, the largest high-altitude lake in Europe, 300-year-old larch forests and peaks that brush the stars of this International Dark Sky Reserve.
We share with you the values of our area, of mountain life and of nature.
We invite you to authentic and special encounters.
A hassle-free trek!
A superb walking journey without worrying about any logistical constraints, thanks to an all-inclusive package: guide, accommodation, meals and luggage transfer.
Local professionals take care of every last detail for the utmost comfort of the hikers, who only have to open their eyes wide and let go.
In the upper Verdon valley, many huts were built in the mountain pastures by the local mountain people.
In the 19th century, some of them housed forestry workers during the reforestation campaigns. They have become cosy shelters that welcome our groups of hikers.
It’s a rare opportunity!
