In winter, snowshoes allow participants to discover the peaceful beauty of the mountains. In summer, hiking trails reveal lush alpine scenery and incredible views over the Mont Blanc massif.
The fresh mountain air and the natural setting create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation, team bonding, and unforgettable memories.
Designed especially for companies and groups, this outdoor activity encourages communication, team spirit, and shared experiences in a relaxed mountain environment.
Throughout the hike, Takamaka guides introduce participants to alpine culture, mountain traditions, local wildlife, and the famous génépi liqueur. Daytime and evening outings with headlamps each provide a completely different atmosphere.
