It's like a call: all this white and blue mixed together, this open view and these fir trees which seem coated in an icy meringue… Each year, we need our mountain dose in the Massif Mézenc-Meygal. For Nordic skiing or snowshoe outings of course, but there are so many other things to discover...
A must do for those who love the varied landscapes of the plateau, the Nordic atmosphere and the soul of the country… '
Olivier, ski touring enthusiast
Our 4 favorites to live a far north experience around Estables:
01
Cross the snowy mountain on snowshoes or ski touring
Up to 160 km for the more adventurous, from the Massif du Meygal to the Montagne Ardéchoise, on ski touring or snowshoeing. A course of ridges on the watershed line: simply breathtaking.
02
Build your igloo to live like an Inuit in the south of Auvergne
Building a cabin in the snow… Some people cut the blocks of snow with a saw, others put them together: great teamwork. But how will it hold up? Fortunately, the Inuit know-how is with us thanks to the advice of our guide.
03
Become a musher during a getaway through the wide open spaces of the Mézenc plateau
With Enguerran, the forest musher of Saint-Front, we take care of the dogs, we climb into a sled and we even learn to drive it. And for total disconnection, why not leave for several days on your own?
Bursting with energy, the dogs are just waiting for you to go on an excursion! If children can enjoy a ride from 6 years old, it is possible to drive the team from 10-12 years old.
04
Observe the nightlife from the top of an Auvergne volcano
It's amazing how different nature looks at night. Discreetly, we follow our guide: sharing the forest with nocturnal animals is like a privilege.
We prepare the fire and bring out the local products to share a convivial moment...
