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.

An unforgettable stay for flyfishing. The welcome of the owners is warm and helpful. The comfort of the traditional lodge is highly sufficient for June long days of fishing.![]()

Plus que des vacances : une experiencz dont on se rappellera longtemps ! Merci encore pour l'accueil. Florian![]()

Great old-time cottage farm house located in a mountainous region. Outstanding views are an obvious consequence, but the main reason we rented the house was for its cozy old-timey atmosphere. There's no running water or gas inside the house, the toilet and shower is outside the house (there is running water there), and the heating is done via an electric stove, so if you're looking for a place to shut off from the world, this is it. It feels very beginning of the 20th century inside, and aside from a few modern touches here and there, you'll feel yourself at your grandma's farm house. Stefanie is an awesome host, we loved the breakfast (it was maybe a bit too stuffy, but that's 100% on us 😄) and the overall experience will definitely leave a lasting memory. Hope to visit again! Ar mīlestību, Antons un Anastasija no Latvijas!![]()

Une expérience hors du commun aux côtés de Jean-Philippe et Stéphanie pour ces premiers jours de 2024, une impression de bout du monde dans la chaleur de leur maison et de leur accueil. Une expérience privilégiée de découverte de traineau à chiens. Merci à vous![]()

Excellent value for money. Cosy. Very nice staff. Highly recommended. Will surely come back again soon. ☺ Old style cabin. Cosy. Easy to park your car nearby. Everything you could possibly need inside, including powerbanks. ☹ Would have appreciated a toilet/outhouse near the cabin.![]()

En skjult diamant.. Grip sjansen! ☺Bodde i en fantastisk liten tømmerkoie, uten vann og strøm. Skulle egentlig dra videre etter en overnatting, men ble værfast i 2 ekstra døgn. Kjempekoselig sted, et perfekt sted for avkobling. Koia var blant annet utstyrt med kjøkken, en liten peis og en herlig oljelampe som laget en nydelig atmosfære! Bestilte i tillegg 3 retters middag 2 av dagene. Med vertinne Stephanie over grytene ble herlige retter servert med en kvalitet og anretning som kan måle seg med restauranter i toppklasse! Rikholdig og deilig frokost, med hjemmebakt brød og det hele. Vertskapet kan jeg ikke gi nok skryt og honnør! Kjempehyggelige folk med stort hjerte. ☹Her er det ingenting å mislike.![]()

Edullinen viihtyisä mökki ☺Ystävällinen ja kielitaitoinen rouva oli vastassa. Maisemat kauniit. Saunan lämmitys mahdollista, en tehnyt koska saavuin myöhään. Mökissä oli patterin lisäksi takka jonka lämmitin, sai kosteat vaatteet ripustettua kuivumaan. ☹Ilman navigaattoria en olisi löytänyt, eli ohjaus tieltä saisi olla parempi.![]()

Außergewöhnlicher Ort ☺Sehr schöne Lage und individuell eingerichtete Hütten. Stephanie ist eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin und gibt auch gute Tips. ☹In unserem Cottage waren die Fenster alle nicht zu öffnen, verständlich da alte Fenster. Für Leute, die gerne bei offenem Fenster schlafen, ein Problem.![]()
