Mountain Bivouac in the Alps

The specialty of Altimood Mountain Professionals is to guided you to bivouac in altitude.

Over 2 to 3 days of hiking with one or two nights in the wilderness, here is the opportunity to disconnect in the mountains.

The program is adapted to your desires:

• Observation of wildlife in action – ballet of chamois, rutting ibex or ermine in full game
• Reaching a beautiful summit inaccessible in one day and enjoy the sporting feat around a fire
• Celebrate an event with Nature challenges to achieve in team

The bivouac can be organized in every season: in summer in the cool of the night or in winter in the warmth of a night in an igloo.

Each time, it is an opportunity to enjoy the moment, a mountain vacation and a trip to the Southern Alps in France.

Here are some of the ingredients of these immersive experiences :

Hiking toward the sky (and summit)

The place of the bivouac is reached on foot. The itinerary is planned by the mountain guide taking into account your desire for sport and your level.

From one hour walk to a full day approach… all options are possible.

Before leaving, the guide will individually help each participant to put together his backpack to optimize the loading. A well compressed sleeping bag is best placed at the bottom of the bag, a small sweater is ideal and water is easily accessible.

The guide will take care of the collective equipment such as the kitchen stuff, the stove and the food.

Once on the trails, the mountain offers its share of aerial scenery and wild meeting.

If your group of hikers is curious, then the guide will invite you to penetrate the mysteries of the nature that surrounds us.

His approach is always practical and educational.

Sleeping the head in the stars

 This adventure is a concrete opportunity to discover good quality mountain equipment for safe sleeping outside.

Your guide will lend you some of the essentials for a first bivouac in the best conditions: sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, backpack adapted to hiking, etc.

Some will prefer the stars, others the comfort of a tent. A hut or a refuge will please those who like to have a roof over their heads.

The tarp or the teepee are great collective experiences.

In short, the technique of the night adapts to your need for comfort.

Cooking into the wild

A feast for mountain people cooked together on embers, stone or on stoves. Are you tempted ?

This will be an opportunity to challenge yourself to light a fire without a lighter.

The meals, prepared collectively, are most often composed of organic, healthy and local food.

If eatable plants catch your attention, then the aperitif will be an opportunity to unearth wild flavors to cook.

The exoticism of grilled grasshoppers will please more than one adventurer.

Playful moments

If the weather and the mood allow it, challenges are organized to discover the mountain in a different way and to keep unique memories of this moment shared in the mountains.

The installation of a blind to observe the fauna is also an option.

Finally, the colors of a sunset in altitude will hopefully be part of the party.

Each experience offer by Altimood is unique. The bivouac is organized according to the request and your group and is adapted to the weather conditions.

The equipment adapted to the mountain can be lent:

• top comfort inflatable mattress,
• sleeping bag adapted to the cold in the mountains,
• backpack adapted to hiking.
