Cro-Magnon winter

From CP to CM2

Discover the winter mountain environment with snowshoes in a fun and educational way, living the experience of the Cro-Magnons in winter 15,000 years ago.

At the end of the last ice age, the Ariège was a welcoming land for Magdalenian hunters who came to hunt and fish … Every day was an adventure. The lives of these men have inspired us to create a range of fun, educational and participatory activities to rediscover ancestral know-how.
