Description
In late spring, chamois, ibex, marmots, birds and many other animals emerge from winter.
The Whitsun weekend is the right time and a great opportunity to discover this little people of hair and feathers in a preserved environment, that of the Vanoise National Park in Savoie, far from the important summer frequentation.
So join me for these 3 days rich in unforgettable encounters!
If you would like to continue your discovery of the mountains, I also offer a day out to discover mountain plants in Savoie, as well as mountain knowledge courses in Maurienne on forestry, geology and meteorology, as well as the botany and human environment. And if you would like to take home some great shots from your outings, you can opt for this photography course in Saint-Jean-d'Arves.
