What the food
Vegetarian or vegan and fit for the trails? Find out during the camp how to do this easily. If you don’t want to give up meat and fish, please let us know in advance.
Depending on the daily program, we will eat in the accommodation or take a picknick with us. And of course there will also be one or two Swiss specialties such as fondue or raclette.
There are two small supermarkets in the neighboring village of Liddes (approx. 5-10 minutes by car or bus) and larger supermarkets and outdoor stores for snacks in Orsiere and Martigny. Depending on the transfer, we can plan a stop on your arrival.
On some days a meal in a hut or restaurant is planned, this is not included in the price.

Our accommodation
We are staying in a former hotel in the village of Bourg Saint Pierre. The accommodation is a coliving for the rest of the year, where digital nomads work and live together remotely. You can find out more about the coliving in Bourg Saint Pierre and the neighboring village here. During the camp, we have the entire accommodation to ourselves.
Address:
Coliving Petit Vélan
Rue du Bourg 26, 1946 Bourg Saint Pierre
How to get there
Bourg St. Pierre is located at 1635 meters. It is about 5 minutes from the bus stop to the accommodation.
Arrival from Germany / Austria / France
You can easily get to Martigny by long-distance train from any country. Trains in Switzerland are punctual to the second, so short changeover times of just 5 minutes are quite realistic. From Martigny you can change trains in Sembranche to Orsieres and from there take the bus (several times a day) to Bourg St. Pierre.
Book via https://www.sbb.ch/fr or Interrail.
Arrival from Italy
Bourg St. Pierre can also be reached by bus from Aosta. Turin and Milan are easily accessible by train from Aosta.

FAQ
Who can take part in the Mountain Brat Camp?
The camp is open to anyone and any body who is interested in hiking and trail running. As no guided hikes or runs are offered, it is best if you already have some experience in hiking or trail running. We are available on site to provide tips on tour planning and organize the arrival and departure of the hikes.
Does Mountain Brat also take care of the arrival and departure?
Mountain Brat does not book trains or flights for participants. However, you can book a shuttle from Martigny or Geneva in advance and be picked up there.
