This summer, treat your children to an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Chez Pépé Nicolas mountain pastures! We offer a wide range of activities and treats for your little shepherds. With us, nature becomes more fun, both playful and educational, always with the idea of transmitting our values of respect for our environment.
Feeding farm animals: an educational adventure
Imagine your children getting up close to calves, goats, chickens and rabbits, while learning how to feed them! Accompanied by a member of our team, they discover the daily lives 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 we care for them? This immersive experience will enable them to forge a unique bond with the animals on the alpine farm, while developing their curiosity about the life of a mountain farmer.

Wooden playground: a safe space for freedom
While you’re enjoying a delicious meal at Chez Pépé Nicolas, let your children play in our wooden playground next to the Arbé chalet, behind the restaurant. Comprising a wooden hut, this safe play area is supervised from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. all summer long. 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 guests, is a unique opportunity to learn Grandpa Nicolas’ trade and immerse yourself in authentic farm life. Come just before 3:30 p.m. to experience this enriching moment!
Discovering farmyard animals
Don’t miss your chance to meet the animals in our barnyard! Your children will have the chance to observe chickens, ducks, rabbits and pigs in their enclosures. 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’ well-being.
Home-made ice-cream counter: a gourmet break
There’s nothing like a sweet break after a hike in our mountain pastures! Visit our ice cream counter, open daily from 2pm to 6pm between the restaurant and the store. Discover our handcrafted ice creams, made with milk from our cows (for the ice creams) and spring water (for the sorbets). Each mouthful is a delight to savor, while enjoying the lively atmosphere of the farm.
Special shepherds’ menu in the restaurant, lunch and dinner
To round off a perfect day at Chez Pépé Nicolas, a meal on the terrace or in one of our themed rooms is a must! Our restaurant offers a special “little shepherds” menu to delight young taste buds, available for lunch and dinner. It’s a delicious way to discover local gastronomy while sharing a convivial moment with your family.
