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.

Superbe séjour merci à vous tous ! Pressé de revenir !
Jeremy Monini2024-07-04An 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.
Steph Warfou2024-07-04Jean Philippe n economise pas son temps pour faire découvrir ses coins de pêche dans une nature magnifique. Stéphanie prépare chaque soir un dîner gastronomique. Une semaine de pure détente. Merci pour la gentillesse de votre accueil sans oublier Sophie
Jean-Luc RETTEL2024-06-30Séjour magnifique chez Jean-Philippe, Stéphanie... et Sophie ! Un lieu magique avec les lacs gelés, un accueil super chaleureux et des activités magiques (chiens de traineaux, ice fishing, rando, barbecues etc...). Nous avons profité à fond en famille. Plus que des vacances : une experiencz dont on se rappellera longtemps ! Merci encore pour l'accueil. Florian
Florian Lagleize2024-05-05Great 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!
Antons Kijaņica2024-04-22A very cozy place that took me back to my childhood visits to my grandmother's farm. Beautiful location, incredibly delicious breakfast, and a fantastic atmosphere.
An Ki2024-04-22Une 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
Mélanie Barreau2024-01-18Merveilleuse athmosphere dans un paysage sauvage et paisible. Réception admirable de passion par Stéphanie, Jean-Philippe et leur petite Sophie. On reviendra une 4eme fois !

Arve2023-04-0110The 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.
