Here's an intense adventure in living together, with a real cohesion challenge to ensure a night under the Igloo. As a group, you'll be building your own igloo and sleeping in it for the night. An unusual journey into the kingdom of the snow.
With snowshoes on your feet (loaned for the occasion), I'll guide you to a site where you can build an Igloo.

The snow cover provides an opportunity for a fun, educational and, above all, nivological look at the state of the snow.

After analysing the snow, your guide will suggest the most suitable method for building an igloo.

Based on this advice, the group gets organised to build a snow dome.

Between the fun of building and the stamina required, allow 2 to 2? hours to build an igloo big enough to share an unusual night.

The Igloo Adventure: a night's sleep in the snow

Are you ready to transform yourself into an Inuit on this unusual overnight adventure? The experience continues under the starry skies between the peaks of the Ubaye valley, always under the watchful eye of a mountain leader (including managing the cold).

In the evening, there's time to share a collective meal. Are you also partial to a raclette by the campfire? Thanks to our telescopic frying pans, we can enjoy a local raclette over the fire - a unique and delicious adventure!

Sleeping under an igloo in the middle of nowhere is no small feat. It's a magical, sporting experience in the great outdoors, a far cry from the comfort of ice hotels.

Snowshoeing requires a minimum level of daily exercise.

The location of the activity will depend on snow conditions (Haute Vallée, Col de Larche, Parpaillon, etc.).
