Description

The Queyras is a regional natural park created in 1977. It’s a real natural reserve of the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean Alps and the cultural and human heritage. The architecture of the villages, paths and the landscapes are a testimony of the time when agriculture was the main activity in the villages.

Autumn is the ideal time to hike in the Queyras. The sun shines, the sky is blue and the light and larches are simply wonderful, while in contrast we can see some beautiful summits sprinkled by the first snows. But the most stunning thing to discover are the larch forests, with a thousand magical colors.

The larch is the tree of light in the Alps and spending time in this beautiful forest is a great therapy for people suffering from stress or insomnia. Trees and forests help us to recover our emotional and physical balance.

We will enjoy great active forest therapy hikes in the beautiful Queyras during 6 wonderful days! The program includes a star-shape itinerary, in order to discover the most beautiful larches and forests of pine cembro in the Queyras. Places and routes are kept secret … !

Practical and exciting activities are offered throughout the stay, in order to:

Feel the beneficial effects of the forest on the physical and emotional balance
Recover energy and improve your fitness, without forcing
Acquire breathing techniques in your lungs
Observe, compare and understand the life of the forest in preserved places and protected for their biodiversity.

Also note that along the progra, we will enjoy a complete digital disconnection: TV, computer, mobile phone and internet will be disconnected for the duration of the program.

I invite you to contact me if you are interested in this magnificent hike in the Queyras. I would be glad to guide you in this region that I love so much.

Superbe week-end de rando raquette avec un guide passionné, attentif aux autres, hyper compétent et amoureux de la nature et de ses bienfaits. Le week-end rando est également devenu un week-end gastronomique avec un pique-nique d'anthologie composé de produits locaux excellents. Le mot d'ordre de ce week-end: profitons de la vie et de la nature ! L'organisation du trek était également impeccable. Merci Éric pour ces purs moments de bonheur! JF

Regarder, admirer, observer, contempler, respirer, savourer la vie qui nous entoure devrait être ce qui nous anime à chaque instant. Si cela ne peut être le cas à chaque seconde, sachez le faire alors le temps d un week end, d un jour, d une heure.... Et qui de mieux pour vous accompagner dans cette démarche qu une personne passionnée par cette vie et cet amour du partage. Merci à toi Eric et à bientôt.

Prendre le temps de regarder et d'écouter la Nature durant un week-end "bain de forêt". Ces instants ont été merveilleux et m'ont permis de me ressourcer. Merci Éric pour ton accompagnement durant cette belle promenade. Meilleurs souvenirs à l'équipe du 14 juillet 2018.

Tant de bienfaits... Dame Nature nous protège et nous offre sa beauté. Eric nous guide et distille son savoir sur les Vosges et sa flore ; et les arbres diffusent leurs phytoncides! Tous nos sens sont en éveil! Le temps s'arrête! Le groupe est porteur, soutenant, bienveillant et drôle (Merci à chacun d'entre eux!). Un enchantement à s'offrir : cela fait un bien fou! (Et en plus, les Bleus ont gagné!)
