This summer, treat your children to an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Chez Pépé Nicolas mountain pastures! We offer a whole range of activities and treats for your little budding shepherds. With us, nature becomes more fun, both playful and educational, always with the idea of passing on our values of respect for our environment.
Feeding farm animals: an educational adventure
Imagine your children getting up close to calves, goats, hens and rabbits, while learning how to feed them! Accompanied by a member of our team, they will discover the daily life of farm animals and how to respect animal welfare. Where do they sleep? What do they eat? How do they talk to each other? How do you look after them? This immersive experience will enable them to forge a unique bond with the animals on the mountain farm, while developing their curiosity about the life of a mountain farmer.

Wooden play area: a safe space for freedom
While you’re enjoying a delicious meal at Chez Pépé Nicolas, let your children play in our wooden play area next to Chalet l’Arbé, behind the restaurant. Comprising a wooden hut, this safe play area is supervised from 12.30 to 2.30 p.m. throughout the summer. This little corner is perfect for little adventurers. They’ll be able to play in peace and quiet, while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding mountain pastures!
Milking goats: an unforgettable experience
Every afternoon, your children can experience the life of our shepherds as they milk their goats. This activity, reserved for our customers, is a unique opportunity to learn the trade from grandfather Nicolas and to immerse yourself in the authentic life of the farm. Come along just before 3.30pm to experience this enriching moment!
Discovering farmyard animals
Don’t miss the chance to meet the animals in our farmyard! Your children will have the chance to observe hens, ducks, rabbits and pigs in their pens. This open-access, all-day exploration is a chance to marvel at all our alpine farm animals, while having fun in an exceptional setting and asking questions of the Chez Pépé Nicolas teams who look after the animals’ welfare.

Each mouthful is a delight to savour, while enjoying the lively atmosphere of the farm.
Special menu for little shepherds in the restaurant, lunch and dinner
