What we’re about
Hello hikers of all levels! This group is about day hikes, weekend getaways and trekking during all 4 seasons. We hike all year round including winter snowshoe hiking adventures. Our tours are led by a professional mountain leader, this is a unique opportunity to get to experience the mountains in full safety and through the eyes of a professional. Hiking with us you’ll learn to read the nature, listen to its stories, interpret its signs, and unveil some of its mysteries! Whether you’re into learning more about the mountains or just looking for the serenity of a leisurely walk, we offer a variety of tours suitable for all levels. For those seeking a challenge or aiming to become more autonomous, we also organize orienteering hikes where you’ll learn to navigate the trails and read maps like a pro 😊
Take a deep breath, let go of the stresses of the week and join us for refreshing hikes! See you soon in the mountains...

Hello everyone, here comes a new orienteering hike !
I believe the mountains should be accessible to everyone in full safety. But maps, compass, altimeter...not always easy to know how to use these tools ! Here comes an opportunity to improve your mountain navigation skills and get more autonomous in organizing your own hikes.
During this relaxed day of hiking you will learn how to read a topographic map, understand the various symbols and colors, estimate distances... You will also discover orienteering techniques using a compass and learn how to use an altimeter to always determine your precise location.
Complete beginners welcome ! Join me for this day and never get lost on the trails again ;-)
