La Ferme D'Emile - 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 £379 per person.

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 also eat evening meals at La Ferme d'Emile for an extra 15 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.
