Wild Trip
Teenage camps - Summer Holidays - Mercantour
An initiatory journey through time and space without wifi or 4G!
Children will experience a great adventure in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. It's a journey on foot through wild, unspoilt nature.
From hut to hut and valley to valley, far from the hustle and bustle of the coast, it's a different pace, a different way of life.
We'll discover unique landscapes, with peaks of up to 3,000 metres all around us and a multitude of high altitude lakes.
We'll have the chance to see and photograph animals in their natural habitat: birds of prey, herds of chamois, whistling marmots, ibex and probably wolf tracks...
Finally, we'll visit the Valley of Miracles, the region's must-see, and pay a visit to the famous sorcerer who has been living there for around 5000 years...
We'll go deep into the site, into archaeological areas that are not open to the public, where only sworn guides can enter.
