Summer in the Haut-Giffre is the perfect time for hiking and outdoor activities. Walking, getting up above the plains, above the mists, means making the effort to see the destination from above. The reward is even more satisfying when you reach your goal of climbing a summit.
In the Haut-Giffre, the variety of summits and paths is huge, and depending on your mood and ability, you will find a walk that suits you. A multitude of refuges are there to welcome you and let you spend moments from another time, different from your everyday life. I love this world in which I can reconnect with Nature and my biorhythm. The sunrise and the sunset guide my activity in a conscious way. If you’re not familiar with this environment, get in touch with mountain professionals who will guide you with passion and knowledge in this place they love.
