At L’Auberge du Mont, there is everything to learn while having fun. Nature classes allow direct contact with the mountain and its forest. If you want to know better, you must first observe, listen and touch what you discover. Come learn at the school of nature by living an extraordinary experience! Auberge du Mont offers its complicity and leadership to teachers and their students for educational and outdoor recreational projects. These intensive stays in a natural environment allow the achievement of educational objectives in the field of environmental education (ERE). In addition to offering all the necessary spaces, facilities, equipment and animation service, we wish to adjust our resources and our educational action to the educational objectives of the school. With this in mind, our programs aim to integrate objectives by using nature as a classroom. We work closely with teachers during the development and evaluation of projects. At L’Auberge du Mont, we want to become partners and accomplices in your educational projects in the heart of nature.

The “nature class” programs are mainly intended for pupils of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle of primary education, but they can also be offered to secondary pupils. Their duration varies between 1 and 4 days. Students and teachers are called upon to experience activities that tackle natural science themes using the environment as a pedagogical focus. Activities are chosen specifically according to ages, interests and educational goals. These outdoor activities in the fall, winter or spring allow young people to live an intense outdoor experience that is out of the ordinary.
Let’s discover nature … like a classroom!
Let’s learn a little more …
Let’s have more fun!
