Have fun with friends or colleagues with a tailor made trip of guided snowshoeing in the alpine winter wildernesses of the Southern French Alps!

The Adventure Youth Hostel is one of our most popular group accommodation centres. It is a superb dormitory style private youth hostel situated in the beautiful alpine village of Piscancon at the head of the Champsaur valley. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like a quote for different accommodation.

There are several dormitories all differently decorated from alpine chalet style to retro 60s! You will have 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 12 people per booking.

There are hundreds of beautiful snowshoe walks to choose from and we will tailor make your itinerary to suit the fitness level and interests of your group. You can walk through forests, over frozen lakes, go wildlife tracking, run across open snow meadows, go up to a summit, over a col or along the valley floor with the mountains in all their winter glory towering over you. You can even go out for a moonlit snowshoe.
