Description

Multi-activity stay "In the footsteps of Davy Crockett" with family in an eco-responsible camp at the private Gaudichart refuge:

A stay offered for the summer holidays in an all-inclusive formula: Unusual accommodation in private chalets for your family, full board, with a cocktail of sports activities supervised by a mountain professional (forest adventure course, hiking, canyoning, treasure hunt, etc.) From 6 years old
On an unusual camp perched at an altitude of 1300m, in the heart of the preserved Haute-Bléone Massif, Gaudichart's private refuge is accessible only on foot (30 minutes walk from the village of Prads-Haute-Bléone) and offers a superb view panoramic view of the high peaks of the valley.
On site, an electric winch transports your luggage to facilitate your arrival. A natural rhythm with groups on a human scale, accommodation in private chalets, plates garnished with homemade meals and always fresh spring water... Here are the ingredients to feed the imagination of great adventures in the heart of untamed nature!
Private refuge open by reservation only, from April to October.

"Refuge d'Art" traveling circuit:

A traveling circuit between contemporary art and hikes in the wide open spaces of the Dignoises Pre-Alps, in the heart of the Geopark of Haute-Provence, through the works of Andy Goldsworthy.
This is a unique hike in Europe, which follows old paths dotted with works by the artist (most of them are designed inside old buildings rebuilt for this occasion).
The concept of Refuges d'Art is based on itinerancy, the process of hiking is part of the daily encounter with a monumental work in the mountains and the discovery of varied and wild landscapes where nature is sublimated by a fauna and flora. exceptional.
As a mountain guide, I have had the pleasure of supervising this stay since 2009. When I started, in close collaboration with pioneers of the route (Jean Pierre Brovelli, Vincent Pergolizzi), I am now offering you this stay with an original journey getting closer to the footsteps of the artist.
Guaranteed departure from 5 people, circuit of 6 days/5 nights. Baggage transfers and meals provided. Accommodation in lodges.

Star-shaped hiking trips based at the private Gaudichart refuge: "Hiking to discover the Himalayas for Lilliputians"

Follow in the footsteps of explorer Alexandra David-Néel on forgotten paths, bathed in the brilliant light of the Provençal sky.
The first few days are dedicated to local exploration, including the ascent of an iconic peak and breathtaking panoramas. Then, let yourself be carried away by three days of hiking through wild alpine pastures, deserted villages, and silent ridges, for a gentle and introspective adventure.
Each evening, return to the comforts of Gaudichart in its rustic cabins nestled near the restored sheepfold, fed by a natural spring. Your luggage awaits, hoisted down by winch from the village for an easy and peaceful walk. Once there, settle in facing the mountain, breathe… and let the magic unfold.
