The mountain hare, scientifically known as Lepus timidus, is a mammal belonging to the Leporidae family. This small animal is also known as "Monsieur Blanchot" or "Blanchon". It is distinguished by its exceptional ability to camouflage itself in its environment, which enables it to survive in mountainous regions. Compared with the European hare, the Variable Hare has a more compact body, which reduces heat loss. Its ears are shorter and its hind legs are wider, enabling it to move across the snow using its feet like snowshoes. The hare is an agile runner and can be seen foraging for food in a variety of alpine habitats throughout the year. Scientists have currently identified fifteen distinct subspecies of the Variable Hare.
By taking part in this activity, man establishes a communion with the animal, perceived as a predator. More precisely, they identify with it, rediscovering the true link with their origins.
Nevertheless, it is essential to note that man cannot simply imitate animal behaviour when he holds a gun in his hands. Although their instincts that stimulate their senses and their intelligence are similar, it is obvious that their respective destructive capacities cannot be compared. Consequently, while the animal is forced to follow its instinct strictly, man, without suppressing it completely, must be able to channel its excesses in order to transcend its expression. This is where ethics come into play, as an essential condition for authentic and truly humane hunting.
Over the millennia, humans and dogs have forged a close bond. Whether as guardians, sheepdogs, rescue dogs, assistance dogs, detection dogs, trackers, guide dogs for the blind or hunting companions, dogs are present alongside humans in a multitude of activities. Hunting, which has been practised for a long time, is one of the areas where dogs have always played an important role, both in the past and in today’s society.
The dog’s role is to detect game, then stop near it so as to immobilise it, while indicating its location to the hunter.
In the event of an established risk or unfavourable weather conditions, we give ourselves the power to take various actions, such as increasing the number of guides on accompanied tours, adjusting the itineraries of our tours, or even temporarily suspending a tour or holiday if we consider that the degree of risk is unacceptable.
Our primary commitment remains your safety and complete satisfaction.

ExcellentBasée sur 20 avisMichel Renoir2021-09-20Merveilleuse athmosphere dans un paysage sauvage et paisible. Réception admirable de passion par Stéphanie, Jean-Philippe et leur petite Sophie. On reviendra une 4eme fois !Username12107092021-07-30Escapade Norvégienne is the peace and serenity you need without even knowing it. It’s a quaint and charming place in an otherwise very unpopulated area and it gives you toasty warm cabin vibes as soon as you arrive. Make sure to take a trip down to the lake and borrow a canoe to go visit the mossy island in the middle. You’ll find the epicenter of peace and serenity on the quiet shores of this little island. The gastronomical highlight of the stay was the breakfast the next morning! Homemade croissants, curtesy of our French hostess, garden picked strawberries, freshly baked bread and a selection of meats and cheeses. The coffee was delicious too - but almost not needed after the amazing night of sleep and the soul-recharge this place gives.Jesper L2021-07-25Beautiful place with lovely hosts.stephane jousset2020-10-25Lieu et acceuil sympathique et chaleureux.Stéphanie est française et elle s est mis a notre service alors que nous sommes arrivés le soir sans prévenir. Petit chalet a disposition avec tout le confort. Ils font aussi des balades a chien de traineau. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.Rune Gellein2020-08-27Too bad we could only stay 1 night. Great place, great hospitality and a fantastic breakfast 😄Jane Hurum2020-07-25Wonderful hosts, beautiful location with unique Norwegian scenery. It's like taking a trip back in time, to a simple and beautiful life. They have their own hens( means fresh and amazing eggs for breakfast) and their own dogsled dogs available for trips. If you want to Explore the beautiful nature in Norway, with perfect guides this is the place. You can even get a own guide for a custom made fishing trip. The french cuisine from the lovely hostess is AMAZING, a must try! Great value for money. Best place to stay in Tolga.
Excellent8,9Basée sur 30 avisArve2023-04-0110ExceptionnelTord2023-03-1310The perfect hideaway, in serene beautiful nature with a homemade breakfast to die for ☺I had been on a long roadtrip already, including several workshops (I am a photographer), and was just dog tired and wanted to rest for one night, and then driving from Røros I found this place close to the border, less than one hour away. It is beautifully situated, in serene nature, and although close to Røros, it is the perfect hideaway. Run by a French couple that have found their piece of paradise, running a husky farm among other things. It is an old farm, with hundreds of years of history in its walls, and huge comfortable beds, tough to wake up from. I am not a breakfast person, but Stephanié made the best brunch I have had in a very long time, with fresh home made sourdough bread, wonderful French omelette, cheese, cured meats, lingonberries +++, and all just for me! That meal alone was worth it, so my only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer.Tommy2022-05-027,0BienAnonyme2022-04-119,0Gezellige cabin met een verrassend uitzicht ☺De accommodatie ligt op een geweldige plek.

The host was helpful to find us another location on our way back, since theirs was full booked, but we unfortunately could not answer due to the lack of reception in the woods. Sorry for that and we are grateful for your help! ☹Everything was perfect.Anita2021-08-247,0BienLisa2021-08-219,0Anbefales ☺Veldig god service og nydelig sted! Anbefales
