Family holidays are a great time to get together, enjoy time together and share new experiences. Travelling as a family is the ideal opportunity to create beautiful memories and strengthen bonds, and trekking is one of the most beautiful ways to travel, taking your time on foot, far from civilisation. Your children will rediscover nature !
Discover the Alps by going on a trek in the heart of nature. Your children will discover the mountains in magical places far from the crowds. Esprit Montagne goes off the beaten track with local products from our mountains to make you travel all the more!
Esprit Montagne is a small travel agency with Guides who design trekking programmes to help you discover the most beautiful itineraries with magnificent accommodation and refuges, some of which are rare gems (unusual tepees, transparent tents, yurts or unusual refuges).
For Esprit Montagne, the mountains are first and foremost a place to share and recharge your batteries, so discover our treks, which are among the most beautiful in the Alps and within your children's reach !
The Beaufortain, with its mountain pastures and lakes, is a great massif to cross with young children (aged between 6 and 7). It's the ideal place, with short walks and plenty of refuges, for a 3 to 5 day itinerary ! Discover the Beaufortain traverse.
I'm sure your children are sporty and well-suited to adventure, so let's set off to cross passes at an altitude of over 3,000 metres. The Vanoise is high in altitude, and the refuges are often at 2,500 metres, so the difference in altitude is around 700 to 800 metres, and the ibexes and patous will be there too !
Your children have already caught the mountain bug, so from the age of 10 you can try your hand at discovering the Mont Rose massif, the second highest peak in the Alps. We've found you the best days of the Tour du Mont Rose, with a bit of mountaineering at the end to keep young and old alike happy. The accommodation and refuges are Italian, so they're top notch!
To ensure the trip runs smoothly, we're aiming to climb gradually in altitude, and with the guidance of a mountain guide, we'll be heading for peaks of up to 4000 metres!
If you're in the mood for a wild and easy trek with your children, we've had to look at the maps several times to find a trek that's accessible to children in the heart of the Ecrins massif. Check out this link to find out !
If you fancy sleeping in a tepee or a yurt while watching Mont Blanc with your children during a three-day family trek along wild paths to avoid the crowds, then this trek with unusual accommodation is for you !
When you go on a trek, you're obviously roaming around for several days, whereas when you go on a rando, it's a star trek, so you have less to carry. Either way, it's a real eye-opener, so the choice is yours !
A great mountain trek is all very well, but you need to find one that's easy to adapt to each member of the family. You need to know the itineraries and plan Bs so as not to take risks with your children... If you're not used to dealing with maps, the weather and all the other things that can complicate a good trek, we advise you to let yourself be guided to discover the fauna, flora and legends of our mountains.
The Vanoise and Val d'Aoste Valleys, which we know well, are great starting points for your adventure !
Everyone has their own desires and abilities, so Esprit Montagne Guides believe that a 5-minute phone call is all it takes to find the holiday and trek that's right for you. An exchange between two human beings promises the most beautiful things, so give us a try by calling 00 33 7 84 98 29 80 or by email using our contact form.
Trekking is an outdoor activity that involves walking in the mountains for several days, from hut to hut. It's the perfect activity for a family holiday, as it allows you to enjoy the beauty of the Alpine scenery while being in the fresh air and creating memories you won't soon forget ;)
