The Ferme D'Emile is an old traditional Champsaurain farmhouse that has been lovingly restored by Dominique and Jean-Marie. It is situated in the tiny village of Les Forestons overlooking the Champsaur valley.

You can eat evening meals at La Ferme d'Emile for an extra 17 euros per head. Dominique is the chef and her food is excellent. She cooks with local produce and also uses plants and herbs from the mountains.

The Ferme D'Emile are totally flexible on which day you arrive and leave so you can take advantage of cheap mid week flights.

This is a flexible holiday where you choose which walks you would like to do from our weekly programme. We will meet you at the beginning of your holiday to go through the options available and will also suggest self guided snowshoe walks that are safe to do on your own and things to do in your free time.

The weekly programme includes several of choices of half day and full day snowshoe walks for all levels of fitness and to accommodate different interests including wildlife spotting, snowshoeing through high altitude villages, moonlit snowshoe walks, high altitude lakes, snowshoeing through the larches, mountain ridges..... and more. The programme is adapted on a regular basis to take into account local conditions.

Have a look at our example 5 day itinerary and 8 day itinerary for an idea of some of the possibilities.

Please note these snowshoe walks may not all be available for your week as the programme is adapted to make the most of local conditions nearer the time. All the snowshoe walks are also subject to minimum group numbers of four. If your chosen walk does not have the required numbers you will be offered the choice to pay a supplement to cover the guide fee or a different snowshoe walk.
