The multisport formula is the ideal option for a family sporting stay focused on the discovery of various sports disciplines. Most often, animation programs are customizable on-the-board holidays and suitable for both small and large participants. They will thus have the opportunity to try out several different activities during their stay. The variety of sports offered ensures a comprehensive fun, intense and diverse experience day after day.
The multi-sport stay is willing to take a "hide" in the middle of nature for several days. Like explorers, you can go hiking, canoeing, horseback riding or mountain biking to reach your goal! In this spirit, Explora Project offers fereal discovery of the Vercors landscapes or discovery of the fabulous coastline of the Arcachon Basin .

Bivouac is an excellent way to reappropriate nature in the most respectful way. This type of rustic and ecological stay allows you to relax in an environment that is devoid of the comfort and the heights of modern life. Experience helps to tighten family ties while developing its capacities to evolve serenely in the middle of nature.
To guide, to make fire, to protect themselves from the weather, to prepare to eat or to build a shelter does not improvise! Plus, a bivouac over several days is also the perfect excuse to practice vibrant outdoor activities. Small and large will enjoy the time spent together, away from the screens, to (re)discover... and consolidate the bonds that unite their little tribe.

Do a winter hike? It’s possible and even funny: in skiing, in crampons but also in snowshoes. In all cases, the participants evolve in a majestic, immaculate, wild and preserved setting, a thousand leagues of the ski areas and their moored slopes. These sports stays are supervised by experienced high mountain guides or guides. They are trained to minimize risks while allowing you to fully enjoy the experience. This type of family stay can be decorated with one or more nights spent in igloo... that you will build yourself. And that doesn’t happen!
At Explora Project, you will be able to find out about it on the side of Villar-d’Arêne in the Hautes-Alpes. Three days of snowshoes in the heart of the Massif des Écrins will then be the opportunity to initiate you to life at altitude and to appreciate its balance. Moreover, the advantage of a mountain sporting holiday lies in raising the awareness of the fragility of this magical environment among the youngest.
