Morning Yoga
Prepare for your day on the mountain with Ingrids’ dynamic 60 minute Vinyasa Yoga class to awaken the mind and body. Special Yoga before hiking session will warm the body, stretch out the legs and build stamina for your uphill ascent to the Mont-Joly.
Evening Yoga
After a nice hike to the refuge, time for yoga to unwind and relax with a 75 minutes restorative Hatha yoga class by Marie-Claude Hubert. This gentler session will help your mind and body to really let go and allow you to enter a state of deep relaxation.
The Hiking
The Mont-Joly is the highest point of the Saint-Gervais ski area located at 2525m. In the summer the snow has melted and you trade your skis for hiking shoes. It’s a perfect the place to see wildlife such as chamois, bouquetins, marmots, eagles and many more!
