Organized by the Pays des \u00c9crins Tourist Office in partnership with the town, this immersive festival invites amateurs and enthusiasts of drawing, writing, and the mountains to explore the Vallouise and \u00c9crins region through art. Over the course of three days, the festival offers a rich and varied program: lectures, book signings by local authors, hands-on workshops, and, above all, guided <strong>sketching walks<\/strong> to iconic sites such as the Glacier Blanc, Lac de la Roche-de-Rame, Ailefroide, and Dormillouse.    <br\/><br\/>The experience is aimed at all levels, from the novice wishing to learn about the &#8220;first traits&#8221; to the experienced artist in search of nature inspiration, with professional supervisors such as \u00c9ric Savoldelli, Morgane Berger or Louis Godard.  <br\/><br\/>Set in a spectacular natural setting, in the heart of the \u00c9crins massif, this festival is an invitation to slow down, observe and capture not only the reliefs and the alpine lights, but above all the personal impressions of those who wish to tell the story of the territory differently, <strong>pencil in hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ws-library-ws-slider alignwide\" data-season=\"summer\"><div class=\"splide\" data-splide=\"{\"type\":\"slide\",\"heightRatio\":\"auto\",\"perPage\":4,\"perMove\":1,\"drag\":true,\"pagination\":0,\"autoplay\":false,\"gap\":\"15px\",\"breakpoints\":{\"450\":{\"perPage\":1},\"768\":{\"perPage\":2},\"992\":{\"perPage\":3},\"1200\":{\"perPage\":4}}}\"><div class=\"splide__track\"><div class=\"splide__list\"><div class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-2-scaled.jpg\" data-glightbox=\"true\" class=\"lightbox-trigger\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-2-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-10-scaled.jpg\" data-glightbox=\"true\" class=\"lightbox-trigger\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-10-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-18-scaled.jpg\" data-glightbox=\"true\" class=\"lightbox-trigger\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-18-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-22-scaled.jpg\" data-glightbox=\"true\" class=\"lightbox-trigger\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paysdesecrins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/07-12-25-rando-dessin-22-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ws-library-ws-share\"><span class=\"share-subtitle\">Did you like this page?<\/span><span class=\"share-title\">Share it!<\/span><button class=\"ws-share-button wp-element-button\">Share this page<\/button><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, the village of L\u2019Argenti\u00e8re-la-Bess\u00e9e will host the second edition of the Travel Festival: La Rose des Vents, 2nd [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":283073,"parent":45940,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_thumbnail_id_2":0,"summer_excerpt":"","season":"","station":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-45849","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
