Practical information
- Children ages 6 to 12 are welcome, accompanied by a designated adult (parent, godparent, sibling, or grandparent) who is simultaneously attending the retreat at La Flatière.
- Children are entrusted to our care for the full duration of the retreat (days and nights) for a special time of faith and joy shared at the chalet known as "Le Rocher".
Getting there
The Les Houches train station is the closest. By bus: from several cities in France, Blablabus and Flixbus serve the Chamonix bus station, where you can take bus line 1 (direction Les Houches) to the Le Tourchet stop. From Geneva Airport: Alpybus takes you to Les Houches, Mountain Drop-Offs to La Flatière, and Easybus, Blablabus, and Swisstour to Chamonix. Let the community know your arrival time so they can arrange a taxi to meet you.
Follow the signs toward La Flatière from the Les Houches train station
Be prepared for some steep climbs on the way to the retreat center
