Saint Martin, Les Menuires, Val Thorens - Vallée des Belleville

Follow the Trail of Chamois with a Passionate Mountain Guide

At the crack of dawn, as the mountains awaken, embark on an unforgettable hike to discover alpine wildlife, and in particular the discreet yet majestic chamois. Accompanied by a mountain professional, you will learn to read the signs of their presence, to observe without disturbing them, and to better understand wildlife at altitude.
This accessible outing offers a special experience in a calm and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for nature lovers and those who appreciate wide open spaces.

A Morning Hike in the Heart of Nature

As you hike along alpine trails, between pastures, valleys, and scree slopes, you will explore a typical chamois habitat. Thanks to the guide's binoculars and spotting scope, you'll have every chance of spotting them, sometimes even in groups, perched on steep slopes or crossing a ridge.
The guide will also share their knowledge about the other animals you might encounter: marmots, golden eagles, bearded vultures… as well as the alpine flora that inhabits these high-altitude environments.
