Bureau des Guides de La Grave
Who they are
The Bureau des Guides de La Grave brings together high-mountain guides and state-qualified instructors who work in the Meije massif and the northern Écrins. Its office is on the cable-car square in La Grave, the same point from which almost all its activities leave.
What they do in summer
Via ferratas in the Oisans and the Écrins (the one at Arsine in Villar-d'Arêne, La Pisse facing La Meije, the Grand Clot mines one or the Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans one), day and multi-day hiking with nights in a refuge, themed walks on flora, geology or fauna, mountaineering, climbing, canyoning and mountain biking. With the cable car it also organises guided walks on the Girose glacier at 3,200 m. For families it has short sunset outings.
How they work
Each outing can be done in a group, with a minimum number of participants and a price per person, or privately, with a price per guide for a closed group. The guide provides the shared equipment, such as the rope, and the insurance; helmet, harness and via ferrata lanyard are hired separately if you do not have them. You meet at the office or directly at the departure point.
