Edible and medicinal plants
With CHARLOTTE MARKUS
A day in nature where we will taste with our eyes, our nostrils, our fingers and our mouths what the earth offers us...
...of simpler ways to feed and heal ourselves, for our pleasure and well-being.
Depending on the time of year we will approach cures, recipes and remedies in an appropriate way and we will try to use and taste some of the plants we encounter.
For future wizards and witches and all those who want to know the benefits of the simplest things around us.
People who live in isolated places have always had to get by without help from outside. Bring your notebooks, we will look at the plants used by the mountain people to feed and heal themselves, study grandmotherly recipes and see what simple and very good things nature has to offer.

Your 1st Trek
2 Days and 1 Night in a refuge with CHARLOTTE MARKUS
Clarée, Vallouise, Freissinière, Cerveyrette, Haute Romanche or Italy...
We will walk up in the cool of the morning talking about what we encounter on our way to the refuge where we have booked our lunch, which we will enjoy in the middle of the mountain. These magical places where guards, climbers and holidaymakers live together, in spartan but warm conditions make sure we live a memorable moment, and it is always with regret that we put our shoes back on to return to the valley and the fast pace of life...

Letting go...
Shiatsu is a massage technique of Japanese origin that uses touch to restore balance to the body and promote well-being and health.It is a pleasant and deep treatment of the whole body.
During a shiatsu treatment, the practitioner applies pressure with thumbs, palms, elbows, knees on the body's meridians and acupuncture points, joints are mobilised, the body is stretched to remove blockages, stimulate weak points and activate the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Muscles are relaxed, tension is relieved and the immune system is stimulated.
Shiatsu offers a true experience of relaxation and letting go!
Half day
Wellness hike and DO-IN hikeA sunrise over the mountains to refocus your energy...Do In is a Japanese self-massage technique derived from Shiatsu and based on the theoretical principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Do In is very easy to perform and remarkably effective in restoring calm and balance, feelings of well-being in the midst of our lives where stress tends to rear its ugly head a little too often.
We will take advantage of the most beautiful places in the mountains to make our stops and we will also talk about the use of essential oils and other natural remedies.
Marked reliefs, long distances... the effort will be reduced and the rewards and pleasure multiplied.
