We have what we need for winter! Babette offers, depending on the level of snow cover, star-shaped snowshoeing outings around the Horizons du Lac in the afternoon. An initiatory journey through the history of the valley and its preserved natural heritage. Discover its great diversity of fauna and flora and the life of the valley bottom hamlets. For all nature lovers, breathe the pure mountain air and enjoy the magnificent panorama of the snow-covered heights. Treat yourself to a 2-hour enchanted break on the site.

As soon as the snow melts, learn this new form of sports to take care of your body, while enjoying the benefits of nature.
This is another concept of walking. It combines in a pleasant way a work of endurance accessible to all and a natural strengthening of the whole body.

In spring and autumn, discover the Afghan walk, to stimulate your body and mind in the middle of a green setting. It is a matter of synchronizing your breathing with your steps, according to the rhythms of walking.
