  • Contemplation of the last rays of the sun and, in the evening, starry sky reading and shooting to capture the stars with the help of your guide.
  • Dinner D1 and breakfast D2 included. Depending on the season, you'll spend the night in a tent, under the stars or in a heated hut (wood stove).
  • Return the following day around 12 noon.

Your guide: a nature enthusiast and wildlife specialist, your guide will accompany you throughout this experience to pass on his knowledge of the terrain, his observation techniques and his photographic advice.
