Éco-Bivouac du Semnoz is an eco-designed mountain camp at 1,600 m, 20 minutes from Annecy, run by the events agency Alpes Bivouac. It hosts nature seminars, study days, team building and private events, with a heated meeting dome, igloo and dome overnight stays, and formats for up to 200 people at an aperitif.
Seminars and company events
The agency has organized outdoor company events for more than 15 years and builds each program from the brief. Formats on the site are team building and incentive with multi-activity challenges, study days, themed or unusual evenings and tailor-made seminars. It describes the camp as a working tool for awareness and transition, with a rustic setting in which the weather is part of the scenario. A project manager is the single contact for quotes, and the agency can handle transport, catering, meetings, activities, evening and accommodation for a group.
Meetings take place in a heated dome of 50 m², fitted out for work sessions. Reference groups on the site had 12, 27 and 45 participants. Summer and winter technical sheets describe what is available each season.
Weddings and receptions
The camp can be hired in full for private events: weddings, birthdays and family gatherings. Organizers use the overnight accommodation and the indoor and outdoor spaces. The site does not state a wedding capacity, so ask for the maximum for your format. The unusual evening formula takes 1 to 50 people, and the Aperitif Bivouac takes 1 to 200.
Rooms and capacities
The main meeting space is the heated dome of 50 m². The evening format is quoted for 1 to 50 guests and the aperitif format for 1 to 200. Overnight units are for two to four people each. The site does not give theatre or banquet layouts.
Accommodation
Three types of overnight stay are offered: Igloo, in winter, for two to four people; Pano dome, in summer and winter, for two to four people; and Nomade, in summer, for two to four people. The number of units is not stated on the pages we read, so ask how many beds are available for your dates. The site notes that on weekdays between July 30 and August 15 there are no meals or walks included.
Catering
A study day includes a welcome coffee, a traditional lunch, an afternoon snack and a buffet. An evening includes an aperitif with local products, a traditional dinner and live music in several styles. An overnight stay includes breakfast in the open air. The agency works with local producers for meals, drinks and regional products.
History and setting
Alpes Bivouac has offered overnight stays on the Semnoz since 2009. The camp stands at 1,600 m in the Bauges regional nature park, with a view of Mont Blanc, and its accommodation is built by craftspeople from the region. It follows a sustainable tourism approach with a focus on energy saving.
Getting there
The camp is at the Semnoz ski area, Les Rochers Blancs, 20 minutes from Annecy. The agency's office is at 15 chemin du Crêt Pessey, Seynod, in the Annecy area. The site does not give access instructions for the camp itself, so confirm the meeting point and winter access with the team.
