This guided silent walk takes us up on the hills behind Centre AMATA from where we have a breathtaking view of the mountains including Mont Blanc as well as the beautiful blue lake, the "lac de Paladru". We somehow feel closer to the sky up there and can experience a feeling of freedom and spaciousness.
This walk requires a 5 minute drive by car up to the hill. If you don't have your own car, we can take you in ours, but the space is limited to 3 people.
There is the option to walk back to Centre AMATA on your own after the guided walk. Maps can be provided.

This guided silent walk takes us on the Camino de Compostela to a place called the Sylve Bénite, the blessed forest. There was an ancient monastery there where monks of the Chartereuse order were living in silence for 6 centuries. Is it their prayers or the thousands of pilgrims that have passed by on their way to Santiago that give this forest such a magical vibe?
This walk requires a 5 minute drive to Le Pin. If you don't have your own car, we can take you in ours, but the space is limited to 3 people.

Centre AMATA programs deliberately leave plenty of free time to enjoy the beauty of this place, relax, take a dip on the pool, sit in nature, contemplate, meditate, go for walks etc... If you wish to explore the area, there are beautiful walks and hikes waiting for you at our doorstep! We have two old-fashioned bicycles our guests can borrow to visit the nearby villages. The lake "Lac de Paladru" and its beaches can be reached in 7 minutes by car. On the shore of the lake sits the sweet little tourist town of Charavines where you find the tourism office, some grocery shops and restaurants. The river Rhone and the lake "lac d'Aiguebelette" can be reached in about 30-40 minutes. To get to the mountains, it takes 45-60 minutes, depending on where you go.
We encourage our guests not to overload their days at Centre AMATA with too many activities and instead to enjoy relaxing and simply being!
