70 km to breathe deeply

Looking for silence, gentle effort and snowy landscapes away from the crowds? The Pays des Écrins is more than 70 km of cross-country ski trails to practice skating or alternatively, depending on your mood (and your thighs).
Three stations, three atmospheres, one thing in common: space, calm, and a breath of fresh air.

Nordic areas

Vallouise-Pelvoux

Easy, fun, family-friendly

22 km of slopes between villages, valleys and larches.
Here, the terrain is gentle, perfect for beginners, progress or “quiet” warm-up. A free loop to test the sensations, trails accessible to all and a gentle link between the villages. To be done alone or with a tribe.

Freissinières

Raw nature and varied circuits,
Wild and authentic atmosphere

20 km of trails between Ubac forests and clearings, with routes ranging from the free discovery loop to very technical routes. It’s the place to reconnect with the mountains, far from everything, close to yourself (and a few squirrels).

Puy Saint Vincent

Panorama and good difference in altitude

At an altitude of 1,650 m, 28 km of groomed slopes every day. We start “quietly” with the Villaret loop, then we climb (with a little chairlift) to the Pousterle and the Tour des Têtes.
Up there, a breathtaking view of the Durance, the Vallouise and the Écrins. Ideal for isolating yourself in beauty… and heat the legs.
