Discovery of the bivouac (Champsaur, Hautes-Alpes)

Description

I propose you a hike dedicated to the discovery of bivouac in the Champsaur, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes. This two half-day and one night outing is aimed at beginners, families and children from 6 years old who want to discover the activity and who are not especially great sportsmen! Indeed, the efforts are not violent and the differences in altitude are modest. The main thing is to have fun.

In addition to the fun aspect of this outing, this hike will allow you to be in touch with nature, to reconnect with the natural pleasure of "being in the mountains" and also to enjoy the magnificent Champsaurin landscapes under the sun of the Hautes-Alpes while walking at your own pace!

If you like this discovery of bivouac, I advise you to follow me on hiking and bivouac trips, from 2 to 4 days, in the Champsaur valley, around the Piniers or in the Taillefer massif.

I also recommend you, in autumn, this weekend of hiking and discovery of mushrooms in the Champsaur.
