New Voyage Privé —
Carefully selected by our experts especially for you
I have always admired what "our elders" did, who did not have the facilities we have today (equipment, information, transport, etc.). Setting myself challenges is my way of life! My operation is simple: dream as soon as I can, think a lot, set a goal and give myself the means to achieve it. And without a doubt the road ahead will inspire me for the future!
A Truly Unique Experience Awaits —
Accompanied by an experienced guide, you will have the pleasure of spending 2 nights in the train (bunk bed), 8 nights in tents and 2 nights in a lodge (dormitories), the assurance of a unique stay. Stop dreaming and fall for surpassing oneself!
Meeting with your tour guide —
An 18-year career in the Army, in the Mountain Troops and then in the Special Forces led this outstanding adventurer to the four corners of the world, forcing him to adapt to all environments, difficult or hostile. Today he devotes his “second life” to what has always animated him: adventure, travel, sport and discovery.
Placing human adventure above all else, Julien cultivates and claims versatility by being passionate about everything that is out of the ordinary: from a ski raid to a paragliding flight, from an icefall to a session kitesurfing, from climbing a summit to scuba diving, setting yourself challenges is her way of life!
His perfect knowledge of the mountains and of survival will be a major asset in enabling you to uncover all the secrets of this exceptional place. A unique adventure awaits you!
