Hiking and Snowshoeing
Snowshoes Simple, beautiful, effective!
You don’t need skis to enjoy winter. In the Pays des Écrins, snowshoeing offers you a moment of calm, nature and great landscapes. Accessible, silent, rejuvenating: just put on the snowshoes and walk. You’ll see, it feels good.
Where to go snowshoeing?
- Narreyroux Valley (Puy Saint Vincent)
6 km round trip, +300 m. A forest path climbs gently to the high-altitude chalets and the petrified waterfall. Ideal for a family outing or a meeting with the chamois. - Freissinières Valley
Soft and marked terrain between frozen torrents, larches and snow-covered roofs. A beautiful nature immersion, perfect for a stress-free start. - Plateau des Têtes & col de la Pousterle
Departure from Prey-d’Aval. XXL panorama of the Ailefroide, orientation table, and possible descent… in sledding. Playful and spectacular. - Dormillouse
A more sustained route: 500 m of D+ by the old mule track, towards a hamlet out of time. Snow, silence, and inn at the top.
Our advice
To evolve serenely on our snowy trails, equip yourself with snowshoes adapted to your weight and the type of snow, with poles with large baskets, gaiters and light down jacket. Off-piste, avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe are mandatory; Always check the weather and the condition of the snowpack, and give up if necessary. Take advantage of our supervised outings – naturalistic, sunset or night walks – and rent snowshoes, safety kits, headlamps or sleds in Vallouise, Freissinières and Dormillouse. Use the Ski Bus shuttle to reach the departures and enjoy a gourmet stop before leaving.
