#1 Your hike in complete safety


A mountain guide is your guide, your guardian angel, your accomplice of the moment. He knows the terrain like the back of his hand, adapts to your level, anticipates the weather, avoids risk areas, and above all… He makes you discover paths that only he knows.


You leave with a free mind, without stress or a map to read. And if you ever make a small mistake, he is trained in first aid. As a result, you can truly enjoy the mountains with confidence.

#2 Total immersion in the nature of Serre-Ponçon

With your guide, every step becomes a discovery. It helps you read the landscape,recognize plants, understand the flight of a bird of prey, or guess which animal has passed through before you. You’ll see, the mountain takes on a whole new dimension!

And that’s not all: some guides are passionate about botany, ornithology, geology or even yoga. So you can choose a hike that really sticks to what you like. Yes, even a rando land art or photo at sunrise exists in Pra Loup 😉

#3A tailor-made hike, just for you


Fancy a gentle walk with a view of the lake? A bivouac at altitude under the stars? Or a sports course on the ridges around Pra Loup? The guide creates an itinerary adapted to you, your level, your desires, the weather of the day.

Do you want to learn how to read a map, improve your breathing, spot the best photo breaks ? That’s what he’s there for too. It’s a hike that looks like you, no more, no less.

#4Less mental load, more fun


No need to plan, choose between 3 contradictory topos or stress about the weather. Your guide manages everything : the pace, the breaks, the points of interest. All you have to do is put on your shoes and let yourself be guided.

The real luxury? Fully enjoy the moment, look up, breathe, laugh, and above all… not having to think about the return route.

#5Real moments, far from everyday life

In a group, with friends or family, accompanied hiking is also about human bonding. We share anecdotes, struggles, wonders. And the guide, with his sense of hospitality and his superpowers as a mediator, knows how to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, even between strangers.

You’ll see, it changes everything : the motivation is there, the smile too, and the experience takes on a whole new flavor.

#6 Learning and progressing (without realizing it)

Your guide is also a discreet coach. It helps you to walk better, to manage your breath, tounderstand how alpine ecosystems work. You leave with keys to feel more independent in the mountains.

And above all, you awaken your senses : listening, smelling, observing. Away from the screens, you reconnect with the essentials.

#7A mountain more respected, better understood


Pra Loup’s guides are committed to an environmentally friendly practice. They teach you the right reflexes: don’t disturb wildlife, stay discreet, don’t go off the trails, understand the impact of your steps.

With them, you become an actor of the living, not just a visitor. And that’s precious.
