Why choose Orsières for a family outing?
Orsières is the perfect place for an adventure that combines walking and imagination. The treasure hunt following the Yeti's tracks takes families on a journey to discover the region by following clues, a playful way to get the children moving without them noticing. Between puzzles to solve and mountain landscapes to admire, it's an outing that transforms a simple walk into a true expedition.
This activity is particularly suitable for children who are old enough to walk and engage in the investigation game, in the fresh air of the val d'Entremont. Orsières is thus a great idea for a nature day, away from the hustle and bustle, where one takes the time to explore the valley as a family.
