Programme
It's a little-known area, but one that has nothing to envy the most famous, frequently sprinkled with snow by disturbances from the Mediterranean Sea. Departing from our base camp at the Auberge de la Grande Ferme, we'll guide you to the best spots in the area and those best suited to the level of the group. Practice your conversions in a Mediterranean climate and a series of turns with a guaranteed breathtaking view from the summit - just what you've been waiting for!
The perfect holiday for those who love discovery.
