Lakes, waterfalls and yoga in Clarée - Le Chalet d'en Hô

A stay to discover the Clarée Valley and recharge your batteries ...

A gentle stay in the heart of a peaceful valley, to discover yourself... to relax! Body awakening sessions to start the day on the right foot. Hikes adjusted to a measured effort and a concern for relaxation. Breathing exercises to fully oxygenate and free the mind.
