Hadrien Brasseur is a mountain leader and professional photographer in the Hautes Pyrénées.

It offers half-day and full-day nature outings for beginners and advanced photographers. All kinds of themes are on offer: discovering nature photography, wildlife, long exposure techniques in front of the many waterfalls… and for all levels of photography.

His invaluable technical advice and passion for nature make this a rich and unforgettable experience.

EVENING IN AN IGLOO UNDER THE STARS

The aim of this astronomy-themed evening walk is to feast your eyes.

With snowshoeson their feet, hikers set off by headlamp towards an igloo nestled in the mountains, at Pont d’Espagne in the heart of the National Park. It’s a convivial experience for families and friends. The meal, made from local produce, is enjoyed in the warmth of the igloo.

Then it’s time for some stargazing. The Pont d’Espagne site is part of the RICE (Réserve Internationale de Ciel Etoilé – International Dark Sky Reserve), making it an ideal location for light pollution-free stargazing.

water treatment

Much more than an unusual activity, this is a deep relaxation session in the warm waters of the Bains du Rocher.

Valérie, a wellbeing practitioner, offers a unique relaxation session. In water at 34°C, with floats on your legs and your head on the surface thanks to Valérie’s support, the sensation of being weightless quickly promotes a state of deep relaxation.

A unique journey tailored to each individual. The naturally warm water relaxes the muscles, leading to deep relaxation. Let go, reduce stress and disconnect your mind for a zen holiday in the mountains.

discover mountaineering

A family activity, accessible to children aged 10 and over, to discover the basics of mountain climbing in the middle of winter, supervised by a mountain guide.

Learn to walk with crampons on your feet, ice axes in hand and roped up… in complete safety. It’s a unique experience to take your first steps in the mountains and perhaps spark a new passion in budding mountaineers.
