Winter trek

This long weekend will involved 3 days trekking into the mountains near Chamonix, France (or other region if weather is bad there). The route will be different to last year's. Thursday night and Sunday night we'll stay in a simple hut. Friday and/or Saturday nights we'll be camping in tents, depending on conditions. 

Winter snow treks are a lot of fun... plenty of snow, and the wonderful atmosphere of forest and mountains in the quiet winter. We'll have time for experiencing nature and seeking together about a topic concerning life's challenges and the Catholic faith (the theme will be announced). On our trek we'll have times of prayer and reflexion.​

​

Sleeping bags, sleeping mats and jackets, all designed for staying warm in sub-zero temperatures, will be provided for each member of the group since temperatures usually drop below zero at evening and during the night. During the day, temperatures are usually above zero your own regular hiking wear will be adequate. Waterproof/resistant hiking boots are required.

​

This trek is open to anyone interested in experiencing nature and thinking together.

Cost: €125
