At Montagne Alternative, our activities are much more than just leisure pursuits:
they’re an invitation to fully experience the magic of our alpine environment.
Whether you’re organizing a seminar, a retreat, or a getaway with family or friends, we’ve curated experiences that will enrich your stay in Commeire and help you discover the Saint-Bernard region from a fresh perspective.
Each activity has been designed to foster connections, awaken the senses, and offer a timeless escape.
Let us guide you as you craft a trip that reflects your personality, blending exploration, rejuvenation, and wonder.
Natural getaway
Themed hikes
Led by Marie, you can choose from several activities: birdwatching at dawn, hikes along the Commeire ridges, exploring the region’s flora and fauna, and, for the more active, the Chemin des Crêtes trail between the Val de Bagnes and the Val d’Entremont.
Wild foraging and appetizers
After gathering wild plants to taste during a hike through the alpine pastures, it will be time for some comfort: preparing and tasting appetizers, accompanied by drinks made from these plants.
Hike with the stars
Night hikes with professional observation equipment: a magical experience for your team around Commeire, with the option to add an outdoor fondue to the activity, any time of year.
Winter hikes
Marie invites you to experience winter in a different way, on foot or on snowshoes, depending on snow conditions: animal tracks, snow science, how plants and animals adapt to winter… choose your favorite topic!
Wild fondue
A truly indulgent team-building activity: learn how to make your own fondue surrounded by nature in the hills above Commeire, whether for lunch or a late-night meal!
Be sure to bring warm clothes in the winter 😉
Tour of the Champex-Lac Botanical Garden
Dotted with winding paths that meander through rocky outcrops and small bridges spanning the ponds, the century-old botanical garden in Champex-Lac features more than 4,000 plant species from around the world set against a unique panoramic backdrop. It’s a sight to behold!
Traditions of Entremont
Carnotzet Raclette
One of Montagne Alternative’s signature activities!
Accompanied by the quirky anecdotes of our local star, Menrad, served up with his irresistible good humor, come enjoy a raclette in a traditional Carnotzet in the heart of the hamlet of Commeire for a true immersion in Valaisan customs!
Tour of the Orsières Dairy
Raclette is a cheese whose traditional recipe has been passed down from generation to generation in the mountain pastures and village cheese dairies. After discovering the secrets of its production, receive your “raclette master” certificate while enjoying a tasting!
Relaxation break
Muscle Stretch or Yoga
A dynamic or relaxing session open to everyone, ideal for energizing the body first thing in the morning or for winding down after a day of intense thinking. Combining gentle movements, stretches, and mobility exercises, this session allows you to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.
Cani-hike
No matter the season or the weather, set out on an adventurous ride pulled by competition-level Huskies! You’ll definitely earn your cuddle afterward, the perfect blend of relaxation and physical activity during a moment that feels like time stands still!
Sound relaxation with Tibetan singing bowls
Sound relaxation is a moment of relaxation brought about by the vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, in a calm, serene, and soothing setting that promotes physical relaxation and mental calm.
Creating as a team
Making natural homemade remedies

We’ll use 100% natural ingredients—such as wild plant macerates, hydrosols, plant oils, and butters—to craft our natural products.
You’ll learn, for example, simple techniques for cooking, emulsifying, and blending ingredients effectively to create a personalized final product that meets a specific need.
Plus, you’ll leave with your finished products and the recipes so you can make them at home.
Culinary workshop
