Hiking in the Ecrins National Park

Join me for some awesome hikes around La Meije, in the Ecrins National Park.

Ecrins National Park is a highlight of the Southern Alps, in France. I’ve lived around there for 10 years and I must admit that it is one of my favorite destinations. In fact, I enjoy very much guiding my friends and clients around. Here are some reasons that explain this:

• The villages like La Grave, Villar d’Arêne. We’ll pass through them during our hikes. They are simply wonderful because they are authentic, full of history and preserved from a tourism sometimes a little bit disappointing;
• We’ll spend the days here in silence, far from the noise and the beaten tracks. It is the perfect spot for people who wish to recharge some energy, enjoy some fresh and clean air and (re)connect with real nature;
• While hiking we’ll have the chance to observe several wild mountain animals. You can find chamois, ibex, deer, marmots, mountain raptors (Royal Eagle).
• We’ll have the opportunity to hike through several Natura 2000 areas in which flowers are abundant and so beautiful. Several plants are even eatable and medicinal;
• For the ones who wish to hike several days, we will have the opportunity to sleep in mountain huts. It’s an unique experience which leaves awesome memories with the people with whom you share it.

There are many options in terms of hikes and paths to take. These will depend on what you wish to do, the time you have and your physical level.

We can leave for one or several days. Moreover, we can choose to leave every morning from one place or doing a hut to hut hiking tour. Either with a logistics support for the backpacks or in full autonomy.

As regards accommodation, we can sleep in mountain huts, in hostels or even in a Mongolian yurt.

Some of the hikes are great to organize with your family and specially with kids, to let them discover a different reality than the one they know.

Please get in touch with me if you want to enjoy a unique time in these fabulous mountain spots. It will be my pleasure to discuss about it with you and propose you a program according to your wishes.

I also organize hikes in other areas of the Alps, including one around Chamonix. And if you come here during winter, you can join me for snowshoeing at la Grave la Meije.
