Classes vertes & rousses

Hiking, walks, fun and educational exploration of the surroundings (rallies, orientation courses and led walks), climbing, Via Ferrata, high wire courses, archery, mountain biking on paths marked out by mountain guides and nature leaders.

Near La Ruche, Lake Annecy, sometimes nicknamed “Lac Bleu” (Blue Lake) is the second biggest lake by area in France. Surrounded by magical mountain landscapes, it is also a very pretty summer lakeside resort. Many water-sport activities are possible there (canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boat…), not forgetting lazing about on the beach and sunbathing, and also for those who are more daring – hang-gliding…

Workshops inside and outside, from La Ruche-La Salle to Col de la Croix-Fry, or in the forest heading towards Beauregard Plateau.

According to your education plans and your wishes, leaders can come on-site to the La Ruche-La Salle Centre.

Examples: workshops from the Wood and Forest Eco-museum, nature shows with “Natur’en vie”, calligraphy, pottery, wood sculpture, yoga, music…

Mountain professionals come to talk about their jobs. Example: Labellemontagne, management company of the ski resort shows and explains about life at Manigod ski resort throughout the four seasons by way of not only historical and economic aspects for tourism but also ecological ones too. They can also take you to the resort, so you can discover technical aspects and the making of snow.

– Storytelling

– Events
