Snowshoeing & relaxing weekend in Gap (Hautes-Alpes)

Description

This weekend is a cocktail of snowshoe hikes and relaxation, with outdoor hot bath (Finnish bath type) in a water at 38° and sauna. Sauna and bath are heated by a large wood stove and the water used is spring water.  A family welcome is offered at the guide's lodge, which enjoys a privileged location with 300 days of sunshine per year and a central location.

You will live two days far from the "factory" resorts for a more authentic stay! You will be transported by minibus to the start of the snowshoe hikes. Thus, you will taste a diversity of landscapes: the Céüse massif resembling a disemboweled volcano and offering all along its cornice a panorama on the Hautes-Alpes, and the wild valleys of Gap hinterland... You can also expect to discover a tasty family cooking. You will relax in the outdoor hot tub and warm up by the monumental tiled stove.

The reception of this weekend takes place on Friday evening (after 6pm) for the aperitif and to enjoy two full days of snowshoeing.
