The enchanted travel nap

Or how to spend 45 minutes laughing and dreaming at altitude! Nicolas Bonato offers a soothing voyage of initiation in the shade of larch trees. Comfortably installed in a hammock or on a swing, all that's left to do is let yourself be lulled by the storyteller's voice as he gently (or humorously) declaims texts by great authors. Giono, Colette, Goethe... prose on the beauty of nature follow on from one another, and inner calm returns. A well-deserved break in the mountains.

The happiness hike

[NEW] The smile is one of man's most fundamental biological expressions. Communicative, it promotes daily happiness, health and longevity. Hiking and enjoying sophrology workshops, all with a smile on your face - that's quite a program, in the truest sense of the word. And yet, it's by working on the power of the smile that we discover its all-too-often forgotten powers.

Making your own olfactory herbarium while meditating

[NEW] Meditation, an age-old discipline with proven virtues, is all the more effective against stress when practiced in conditions of absolute relaxation. In the heart of the larch forests, let yourself be carried away by this quest for inner peace. This majestic conifer, with its fine needles and skyward-pointing tip, gives off an intoxicating scent that is the perfect starting point for an olfactory meditation full of strength and serenity. Discovering the plants and the parts used to distill their essential oils, as well as observing their ecosystems, helps us to understand why they are so beneficial to us. To make the most of these instructions, everyone leaves with their own herbarium: enough to apply the lesson when we get home!

Info: 2h on site in the forest, €15/pers. with herbarium, book with Catherine on 06 08 54 17 53

Rando-reflexo, at one with nature

Reflexology is one of the body's most effective self-healing techniques for relaxation and release. But not just any reflexology this summer: put it into practice while hiking in the forest. Feeling the trails underfoot and the bark on your hands activates reflex zones and stimulates the senses. An unexpected but powerful way to tame your sensitivity and improve your well-being.

Health on the plate

Taking care of ourselves also means pampering our stomachs, while taking pleasure in preparing and enjoying our food. It's a great opportunity to take stock of the contents of our cupboards and adapt new, healthier habits, without upsetting too much. Larch, juniper, hyssop, thyme... the spotlight is also on essential oils and local essences whose power is undisputed. This means knowing how to use them, and above all, how to use them well, to the delight of gourmets!

The luxury spa by Alpin d'Hôme

[NEW] Nestled in the heart of the larch trees, an intimate and unusual refuge awaits you. A charming eco-lodge, Alpin d'Hôme offers nine bubbles with large 160° transparent windows and panoramic terraces for contemplative guests in search of peace and quiet.
