Accommodation - The Snowman Outdoor Centre

A great outdoor centre within walking distance of the village of Pont-du-Fosse.

It is perfect for large groups (maximum 130). The centre is basic but clean and spacious. There is a large communal dining room with an outside sun terrace so you have the choice of eating in or outside.

There are also four classrooms that can be adapted to your individual requirements and one has been set up with lights and a sound system for discos. There is table tennis and table football available for use.

For leaders and teachers there is a comfortable sofa area with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. WiFi is available.

Each dormitory sleeps between 3-8 and is equipped with private an-suite shower room and balcony.

There are 2.5 hectares of grounds set in an alpine landscape including an outdoor climbing wall, archery area and large picnic area. It is possible to set up tents and there are teepees available for use if you want to enjoy a night under canvas around a campfire.

In summer the centre is ideally placed for walking, climbing, canyoning, via ferrata, horse riding, mountain biking, paragliding, kayaking and white water sports.

In winter you are 10 - 20 minutes drive form 5 different ski villages and 30 mins drive from the large ski resort of Orcieres. There are also ice climbing, ice skating, snowshoeing, husky sledding and other winter activities nearby.
