Igloo-Building Workshop

Accompanied by local mid-mountain guides, high-mountain guides, and mountain professionals, discover the secrets of time-honored expertise amid exceptional snow-covered landscapes. Throughout the workshop, you’ll learn to read the snow, handle specialized tools, and assemble blocks to build a genuine Nordic shelter. Accessible and fun, this activity is above all a time for sharing, learning, and camaraderie, where young and old alike become builders for the duration of this extraordinary adventure. Combining an exploration of the mountain environment, an introduction to gentle survival techniques, and the joy of creating together, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, marvel at nature, and experience the mountains in a whole new way. Join us for an authentic immersion, guided by passionate experts, and leave with memories as solid as an igloo! Be sure to wear appropriate clothing: warm shoes and warm, weather-appropriate clothing (hat, gloves, snowsuit). Children must be accompanied by an adult. To protect the natural environment and ensure a peaceful experience for all participants, dogs are not allowed. Registration is required at the La Chapelle d'Abondance Tourist Information Office; space is limited.
