Description
I'm looking forward to meeting you in the Maurienne valley in Savoie to observe and photograph ibex.
After an approach hike of a few hours on a summit or towards a pass, you'll discover the ibexes feeding, moving or ruminating off the trails.
We'll have our picnic about fifteen meters from the ibexes as they go about their business.
The departure time is given as a guide only, and may be brought forward or delayed depending on the season.
Meet at Place Opinel in Albiez-Montrond (or at a convenient meeting point depending on where you're staying), then drive to the start of the hike.
Bring your hiking gear, picnic, drinks, warm clothes and a windbreaker for the day.
I also offer summer hikes around Albiez to observe the life of marmots, embark on a fossil hunt, learn about the mountain flowers and plants, as well as gourmet hikes along the cheese route (possibly including a visit to the heritage).
And for the more sporty, you can follow me to climb a 3000-meter peak in the Maurienne.
