A unique adventure in the heart of the majestic Alps. Join us for a holistic experience combining yoga, meditation and hiking, in extraordinary locations in the Écrins massif. Treat yourself to an immersive and transformative experience, exploring the wonders of this magnificent land, an unforgettable experience of disconnection. Immerse yourself in an unspoilt natural environment where the beauty of the Alpine landscapes blends harmoniously with the practice of yoga. Let yourself be enveloped by the serenity of Alpine nature, with its majestic landscapes and snow-capped peaks conducive to contemplation and inner tranquillity. By practising outdoors, you'll connect with the surrounding nature, breathe in the pure mountain air and discover deep inner peace. Guided hikes allow you to explore picturesque trails, take in breathtaking panoramas and marvel at the splendour of glaciers and crystal-clear waterfalls. Set off for a place where time seems to flow differently. An escape to feel, rediscover your senses and reconnect with yourself. Immerse yourself in a peaceful, rejuvenating world.
Accommodation:
Peace and quiet. We have selected two high mountain refuges. The Les Mouterres hut for the first night and the Pic du Mas hut for the second. An experience at altitude, between heaven and earth. You'll be staying in a dormitory and practising yoga with an uninterrupted view of some wonderful scenery.
Practice:
Estelle proposes a vinyasa yoga, her sequences are creative and fluid, almost dancing, to the rhythm of the breath. Body and mind in total harmony. We'll set off on an inner journey with powerful moments of letting go. All this in the mountains, a place of pure peace and quiet, where you can disconnect from everyday life but above all reconnect with yourself and nature. Nature offers both nourishment and healing for the body, as well as wonder for the soul, the heart and the mind - Pierre Rabhi
Hiking :
Luc, a qualified mountain leader, professional fireman and mountain rescuer, will accompany us for 3 days to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Écrins massif.
On the 1st day, we'll walk 13km from Le Chazelet to the Les Mouterres refuge, via the famous Emparis plateau and its magnificent lakes facing the Meije, which rises to an altitude of almost 4,000m (positive difference in altitude of 550m - walking time 3h30). The Emparis plateau is a Natura 2000 site. An unspoilt area, its fabulous scenery provides a backdrop to La Meije and its glaciers, all at an altitude of around 2000m.
On the 2nd day, we suggest (as an option) going to see the sunrise at Lac Noir. Famous for its unforgettable sunrise, the Meije is reflected in the lake in sublime orange hues (duration approx. 1hr 30mins with little ascent)
After a breakfast, we'll leave the hut and head for the Pic du Mas hut (300m ascent - walking time 2h30). After 8km on the sublime plateau of an ocean of greenery, calm and restful, we'll reach the refuge with its sauna to help us recover from all the miles we've covered.
On the 3rd day, we'll leave the hut to return to our starting point (a 300m drop and a 4km descent), still enjoying the magnificent panorama and the high peaks that surround us... Throughout this hike we'll also be able to admire the rich flora and we'll certainly have the opportunity to come across a wealth of wildlife...
