#1 – An unusual bivouac in a cave with Vertical Aventure
You are accompanied by an experienced guide, who tells you the history of the cave and its secrets. You dine by candlelight in a unique setting sculpted by erosion. Then, you slip into your sleeping bags, lulled by the silence of the cave. It's an unforgettable experience, which will allow you to discover the underground world from a new perspective.
#2 – A naturalist workshop with Paléop’terre
Trapper expedition, igloo construction, discovery of paleontology, geology and mineralogy, understanding of wild life... so many workshops to strengthen your connection to nature!
#3 – An electric scooter ride with 2 Roues Évasion
From the Vercors to the Chambaran, explore the territory at the controls of an electric all-terrain scooter. No need to be a seasoned sportsman, this new means of transport, clean and silent, is accessible to everyone aged 14 and over.
#4 – A sled dog outing with Évasion Polaire
In the shoes of Jack London or Leonard Sepala, board the sled in the company of the musher and his dogs in the heart of the wild nature of the Coulmes station for a total change of scenery and a unique experience.
#5 – A night in the trees at Cabanes de Fontfroide
Imagine... The rustling of leaves, the woody smell of oaks and beeches, the whistling of birds... You are there, perched in a cabin among the trees in the middle of the forest. The mini farm with ducks, goats, sheep and chickens will delight the whole family.
