Snowshoeing & Raclette Evening at a Vercors Refuge
The crunch of snow under your snowshoes, then the door of a refuge opening onto the smell of melted cheese. That's your evening.
The night-time mountain, gourmet style
Early in the evening, our mountain leaders take you out on a snowshoe outing open to all. No need to be sporty: we walk at a calm pace, stop to listen to the silence, look up at a starry sky (if the weather plays along). Winter in the mountains at night is a world apart.
At the refuge: raclette and good company
After the walk, we push open the door of a Vercors refuge. Inside: the crackle of the fire, a traditional raclette (or a hearty mountain meal depending on the keeper), and that simple, genuine atmosphere you find nowhere else. Laughter around the table, the cheese stretching…
Want to add a twist to the evening?
Add an activity before dinner: the Fire Challenge in the snow, building an Igloo or a walk on the Wolf's tracks.

Reviews
I highly recommend Pied Vert...★★★★★ Comment sent by Lina Morelin Mayon GoogleI highly recommend Pied Vert as guides. My team and I tried the 'Fire Challenge' activity and the 'on the trail of the wolf' walk up to the Clariant restaurant. We had fun and learned loads about Vercors wildlife. A huge thank you to the Pied Vert team for taking such good care of us!
