Guided bivouac

Watch night fall, then sleep outdoors

One night outside is often enough to put things back in perspective.

A bivouac is the simplest experience and one of the most memorable: walking to a wild spot, setting up camp, cooking, watching night fall, then falling asleep outdoors. With a guide, you can enjoy it without worrying about the spot, safety or local rules, which vary from place to place.

Formats range from a single night, ideal for a first time, to several nights along a route. Comfort varies too: tent provided or your own gear, meals cooked together or brought along, a short or longer approach walk.

To choose well, check the season (nights can be cool, even in summer), the equipment provided and the distance to cover.
