Gite L'Aventure - Snowshoeing

Take a long weekend break to recharge your batteries in the sun and snow from £229 per person or indulge yourself with a full week of snowshoeing in the winter wildernesses of the Champsaur and Valgaudemar valleys from £399 per person.

The Gite L'Aventure is a superb dormitory style Gite situated in the beautiful alpine village of Piscancon at the head of the Champsaur valley.

There are several dormitories all differently decorated from alpine chalet style to retro 60s! Wherever possible, we will always try to give you your own dormitories for your group so you don't have to share with strangers.

The shower and toilet facilities are shared but are very clean and well maintained.

With a large communal dining area, games room and garden it's very sociable and a fun place to spend your holiday!

It is ideal for groups of any size up to 40. There is a minimum group size of 8 people per booking.

The Gite L'Aventure are totally flexible on which day you arrive and leave so you can take advantage of cheap mid week flights.
