Discover four of them: play, exploration, immersion and contemplation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A life-size treasure hunt <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>Chartreuse Gold<\/em>, the massif becomes the setting for an open-air treasure hunt. Conceived by Baptiste Billon-Grand, a local boy with a passion for local history, this treasure hunt is based on a series of ten riddles combining observation, deciphering and travel on the ground. Some of the answers can be found behind a screen, while others require you to explore the massif and understand its landscapes, villages and stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched on 17 December, the adventure gradually leads to a buried chest, the discovery of which is rewarded with a gold ingot worth 1,000 euros. It's a fun, challenging and immersive way to explore the Chartreuse in a different way, on your own or as part of a team, combining reflection and walking on the ground. The game costs 18.90 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Walk to listen better <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mountain guide and sound designer Simon Pochet offers a different way of exploring the Chartreuse. Here, hiking becomes a listening experience. His half-day and full-day outings invite you to slow down, observe and feel the landscape through silence, the sounds of the forest and the stories of the land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/chartreuse-discover-6-different-ways-to-experience-the-mountains-this-winter\/\">Chartreuse: 6 different ways to experience the mountains this winter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around the Grande Chartreuse monastery, in an area protected from noise, the walk becomes more attentive, almost meditative. Accessible from the age of six, these walks combine an educational, poetic and sensory approach, and are just as suitable for families as for groups of adults. It's a different way of reading the mountains, taking the time to listen to them. Outings start at 180 euros for a half-day group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Spending the night out <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From December to March, the experience offered by <em>The Call of the Wild<\/em> invites you to get away from it all for a night in the forest. From the village of Saint-Hugues, participants snowshoe to a bivouac nestling under the trees. The evening continues with a shared fondue, before a night in a tepee heated by a wood-burning stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DSQEDeHDP9X\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It's a micro-adventure for ten-year-olds and over, designed as a timeless interlude away from screens and noise, to reconnect with a form of alpine simplicity. The package costs 250 euros per person, including equipment and meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

With Cartusiana, outings adapt to the weather conditions to offer routes between Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse and Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, alternating between roads and trails. The aim is not performance, but discovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/budget-serre-where-and-how-to-ski-for-less-this-winter\/\">Tight budget: where and how to ski for less this winter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Architectural heritage, medieval ruins, farms and craft breweries dot the route, punctuated by gourmet breaks featuring local produce.
