A superb day-long snowshoeing trip in the Queyras.
Nicolas adapts to the participants' level and suggests routes off the beaten track. In addition to enjoying the magnificent scenery, it's not uncommon to spot local wildlife, especially with the guide's eye 😉

I've just returned from two consecutive snowshoeing trips with nights spent in mountain huts with Nicolas.
He's lovely, thoughtful, and a great listener.
A very down-to-earth guy, connected to nature, and very reassuring.
I'd gladly go with him again; you experience real adventures, especially on a personal level.
Thank you for everything, and see you soon!

I absolutely loved the snowshoeing trip with Nicolas. Three of us friends were discovering this activity for the first time, and we were thrilled. The scenery was breathtaking, the pace perfect, and we learned so much from our passionate and attentive guide. I highly recommend it and would love to do it again!

A superb snowshoeing trip in the Queyras for two friends and me, accompanied by Nicolas. Nicolas was incredibly attentive, considerate, a good listener, and offered excellent advice. Patient and patient, he took the time to share his knowledge and answer all our curious questions. Besides being amazed by the scenery, we had a truly wonderful time and lots of laughs. Thank you!

A fantastic introduction to snowshoeing in a beautiful, accessible location, still covered in snow at the end of winter (the Col de Vars). Nicolas is experienced, attentive to everyone in the group, thoughtful (thank you for the hot drink during our break in the shepherd's hut), and accommodating with the meeting point. I'm already eager to do it again and head out on another adventure!

A fantastic guide! 👍 We went snowshoeing yesterday and hiking today. He was very kind, perfectly adapted to our wishes, and was very professional. Honestly, I recommend him 100% without hesitation; you really won't be disappointed. We loved it, even my teenage daughter. All the best, and I hope to see you again soon for more hikes! 😊

A superb experience with Nicolas! We spent a morning snowshoeing among the larch trees and an evening snowshoeing again at night. Two outings where we discovered the region's natural beauty, slid down natural slides, roasted marshmallows in a clearing under a starry sky—in short, moments that made us want to explore more with him in the future!
He shares his passion and knows perfectly how to adapt to the group he hikes with.

Fantastic snowshoe hike at night with Nicolas – a wonderful way to start the year. Nicolas gave us a magical experience in the heart of the forest under the stars. He was very communicative, and the organization was seamless. Thank you!

My boyfriend and I went on a half-day snowshoe hike with Nicolas in January. I really enjoyed it and had a great feeling about it. So I contacted him again to embark on an adventure I'd been wanting to experience for a while: a 3-day trek.
It was an incredible experience this week. It was a feast for the eyes and a truly heartwarming experience! Nicolas guided me perfectly from beginning to end. He was very patient and encouraging while still allowing me to be independent. He showed me the different options, explaining his reasoning for dealing with unforeseen circumstances (weather, etc.) so that I could be an active participant in this adventure, while also offering support when I needed it. I was able to learn and test my limits while feeling safe, and I had a wonderful and joyful time sharing this experience.
Nicolas, thank you again for everything, and I hope to see you soon for more "rustic" adventures. In the meantime, I'm going to work on my proprioception 😉
