Rock Climbing

From total beginners to experts, we have the terrain and the instructors to help you get confident and find the joy of moving on rock with grace... During this half-day course, we'll walk you through:

-safety: how to use the climbing gear in a good way.

-climbing technique: how to have fun and be efficient in different kind of climbing situations.

Where: Aussois and Sollières

When: half day activity, mornings and afternoons

Guides: all of us!

Via Ferrata

The world of verticality for everyone !

Thanks to a lifeline cable to which you are connected without interruption, you will be able to follow the via ferrata without being concerned for your safety. The artificial steps, the ladders and other equipements will make your progression easy. You need to be reasonnably fit, but no former experience of climbing is required.

If this concept was first born for defense reasons on the borders between the alpine countries, its comeback as a sport activity in the eighties was initiated, among a few others, in Maurienne. Today we have a wide choice of itineraries with a great variation, from the easy ones for kids to the very advanced that will require more stamina...and nerve control. 
Most of the routes are accessible whatever your level, and all have in common the same breathtaking views.

Where: Aussois, Forts de l'Esseillon and Pont du Diable

When: half day activity, mornings & afternoons

Guides: all of us !

Kids: some of the via ferratas are suitable for small kids (4 years old). 

Alpinism

Take some altitude & climb a peak !

Advanced or complete beginner, there are mountains for everyone.

During the teaser week, we want to give you the full experience and show you our kingdom! We will hike first to a hut where we will spend the night, away from the ruckus of civilisation. The next morning, after an early "alpine start" we'll start the day under the starlight to take you to the most beautiful views of our mountains.The goal will be to enjoy the scenery while getting a great exercise, but also to teach you some of the techniques, depending on your level. Navigating on glaciers, using ice axes and crampons, basic alpine climbing, using the rope to be both safe and flowy, there is a lot to talk about!

Where: Aussois (Refuge de la Dent Parrachée) or Bonneval (Refuge des Evettes)

When: All day activity, plus the night and afternnon before.

Guides: Victor, Clément, Sylvain, Chuchu...well most of the team!

Canyoning

Come and discover the mountain rivers as you have never seen them! In a unique aquatic setting, come jump, slide, and swim in the fresh waters of the Alpine canyons.

For half day or a day, for an initiation or more advanced session, let yourself be guided in the clear waters in a wild and authentic playground. Jumps and slides are many but never compulsory, it's all about fun! Come alone, with friends, family and throw yourself in the water!

Yes we have it all in Maurienne : nice and well maintained downhill singletracks in the resorts of Aussois, Val-Cenis & La Norma, wilder but still great enduro singles away from the lifts, as well as many forest dirt roads, paths and secret spots... During the Teaser Week, you will have the choice between using shuttles and lifts to ride only downhill, going for long cross country days out, or riding our best enduro trails. With our certified bike guides, you will improve your technique and learn about the gear, while having tons of funs of course.

All different kind of bikes are available for rental. And if you're unsure about your level of fitness, we also have e-bikes so you can keep up with the rest of the group with a minimum effort!
