What Alpiness is and what we're trying to create here.

Once you discover Val d’Hérens, all you want to do is stay forever.🥰
But the beauty of our area is that so many incredible places are just around the corner. Only 2 hours from Les Haudères lies Val d’Aoste: the perfect spring getaway.🤩

Pizza, local market, sunny café terraces, and that unmistakable Italian holiday feeling… another reason why spring at Alpiness feels so special. 🇮🇹🌞

Spring has officially settled in here in the mountains 🌿

This weekend marked our first hike of the season to Lac Bleu and it felt like the perfect way to welcome the new chapter.

The snow is melting, the trails are opening up, and flowers are starting to bloom all around us. After months of winter landscapes, it’s a beautiful to see nature come back to life.

There’s something special about these first signs of spring in the Alps, the fresh air, the changing colors, and that feeling that adventure is just beginning again.

We’re excited for everything this season has in store.

More hikes, more sunshine, more moments like this.

Two years ago, someone suggested a quick morning walk for coffee and a croissant.

Fast forward to today, and it has become one of Alpiness Coliving’s most beloved (and delicious) traditions: the Croissant Hike 🥐⛰️

Once a week or sometimes more, if the craving wins, we make the 40-minute uphill walk from the house to Les Collines. The reward? A great coffee, a buttery croissant, and views that make it all taste even better.

In winter, we traded hiking shoes for snowshoes and cozied up inside after the climb. But now the terrace is open again, and we’re back in the lounge chairs, soaking up the sun with pastry in hand.

Some habits are healthy. Some are delicious. Ours happens to be both. 😅

PS: Lucie is back in the house and last year she managed to earn the local legend title on strava for this segment. Let's see if she can keep it hahaha

Spring is arriving in Les Haudères. 🌱
The snow is melting off the trails. The garden will soon be planted. A new group of people are settling in from 6 different countries, working on all kinds of things.
This week : a picnic at Arbey Lake, a Japanese cooking workshop, a Slowdown session, first trail runs of the season, climbing in the valley, some last ski tours, crafts after dinner and a little dip in the local natural hotsprings. On the trail you have trailrunners and people who stop to photograph the local wildflowers. The Patrouille des Glaciers passes through Arolla this week, 5,500 ski mountaineers crossing the glaciers through the night. Rosula Blanc's yak herd is back up on the slopes. A sure sign the season has turned. (.blanc )

If you've been thinking about coming, spring and early summer in the Alps are genuinely something else. We'd love to have you. 🙂 → Availability at alpiness-coliving.com.

Here in the valley, winter comes with something truly special!

We had the chance to experience one of the most unique traditions of the region: the Carnaval d’Evolène. And it’s not just a weekend event… it lasts for more than a month and a half, unfolding little by little, full of surprises 😍

With the Alpiness crew, we joined as much of it as we could. From the opening moments to village celebrations. From public festivities to spontaneous private parties at home… all the way to the final evening on Shrove Tuesday, when the village burns the Poutratse, the symbolic “winter man” (check the last video of the carousel out). It was freezing cold that night, but also incredibly beautiful to witness together.

A little cultural context.
What makes this tradition even more fascinating is how deep its roots go. The exact origins aren’t documented, but historians believe some elements date back thousands of years 🫨. Masks and rituals meant to chase away winter spirits were likely already practised in the region during prehistoric times.

The idea was simple: protect the villages, welcome spring, and keep the community safe through the harsh mountain season. The Peluches and Empaillés we see today are echoes of those ancient beliefs.

Experiencing this together made the winter feel even more alive — full of joy, après-ski gatherings, early parties and late ones, and a strong sense of connection with the valley.

🏔 If you’d like to join us next year… spots are already filling up quickly. There are still a few places left in the dorm for next winter, you can find the details through the link in bio.

The first ski touring trips of the season are already well underway! ❄️⛷️✨ Benoit started back in November, and since early December, the rest of the house has followed. Blue skies, fresh snow (almost enough to avoid the rocks, haha), and above all, magical landscapes 💪🏔️

The ski lifts are open on weekends this month, and from Christmas onwards, they'll be open every day 🎉 But until then, it's all about earning those turns, working on our cardio, and enjoying the climb to the summit

Time to share some picture from the last couple weeks! Snow has arrived in the valley and the least we can say is that the crew has been making the most out of it :
First ski day of the season ✔️
Snow hikes with the best views ✔️
A house full of good vibes ✔️

PS : shoutout to our amazing volunteer for his face in what must be one of my favorite pictures of the season 😂 (this should be the new face we post when colivers leave a messy kitchen 😅)
