An open-air heritage

Vallouise-Pelvoux, Les Vigneaux, Puy Aillaud or Ailefroide: each village has its own charm. Here, cobbled streets, sundials, old houses and irrigation canals tell centuries of history.
Don’t miss the churches of Vallouise and Les Vigneaux, the chapels scattered throughout the hamlets, and the Randoland routes to discover these places with your family.
Family bonus: download the LegendR app for a fun and self-guided tour.

A life-size playground

Located at the gateway to the Écrins National Park, the valley offers an exceptional setting for all styles of practice:

  • Hiking and mountaineering
  • Mountain biking and white water sports
  • Paragliding, horseback riding, cani-hiking, tree climbing
  • In spring and summer, the blooming meadows, open peaks and larch forests are pure bliss.

An open-air heritage

Vallouise-Pelvoux, Les Vigneaux, Puy Aillaud and Ailefroide take on a special charm in winter: the narrow streets are illuminated with garlands, the sundials disappear under the snow, and the stone houses are adorned with a white coat. The churches of Vallouise and Les Vigneaux, the isolated chapels at altitude become so many poetic landmarks to discover, with the family or alone.
To entertain young and old, the Randoland courses are available: a fun ride to make snowflakes on your feet, even out of season!
For an autonomous and interactive route, the LegendR app remains a valuable asset in winter as well.

A life-size playground

At the entrance to the Écrins National Park, the valley becomes a snowy setting, accessible to all, with adapted activities:

  • Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing & ski touring
  • Winter paragliding
  • Ski joëring
  • Cani-hiking & dog sledding

Under the frost, forests and larches become mystical, and the valley is transformed into a real white terrain of nature.

Local atmosphere & events

In summer, concerts, festivals, sports races and events punctuate the villages. On the terrace or in the squares, we share a drink, a concert, a good time.
Ideal period: from May to September, to combine nature, culture and relaxation.

Local atmosphere & events

In winter, everything slows down. We swap terraces for cosy refuges, village festivals for hushed moments between snow, light and sharing.
Ideal period: December to March, for a timeless interlude.
