Mountaineering villages<\/em>Jewel boxes<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

The “Mountaineering Villages<\/strong>” label awarded to the municipality of Vallouise-Pelvoux<\/strong> aims to promote and re-enchant mountaineering in the \u00c9crins and thus to pass on Alpine traditions to new generations while raising awareness of the fragility of the natural environment. <\/p>\n\n

Mountaineering is now listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO<\/strong>. Our territory has benefited from it thanks to the famous peaks located in Vallouise (Barre des \u00c9crins, D\u00f4me des \u00c9crins, Roche Faurio, les Agneaux, the Ailefroide orientale…) and also thanks to the very strong presence of the history of mountaineering<\/strong> on the territory of the Pays des \u00c9crins. <\/p>\n\n

A real base camp<\/strong> for climbing and mountaineering, Ailefroide<\/strong> will seduce you with its authenticity, charm and tranquility in the heart of the mountains and the \u00c9crins National Park.<\/p>\n\n

The Pays des \u00c9crins,<\/em> a land of mountaineering<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Pays des \u00c9crins is a land of high mountains<\/strong> by tradition. The massif is technical and the steps approaching the prestigious peaks alone constitute fabulous hikes. Barre des \u00c9crins<\/strong>, Roche Faurio<\/strong>, D\u00f4me des \u00c9crins<\/strong>,… the Pays des \u00c9crins is a land of mountaineering <\/strong>par excellence… Find more information on ski touring around the refuges in the spring<\/strong> and mountaineering in the \u00c9crins<\/strong> on this link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, it is the only massif in France where you can evolve in the high mountains<\/strong> (4,102 m) in the heart of a preserved area<\/strong> thanks to the \u00c9crins National Park<\/strong>. This advantage guarantees you to evolve in an environment with preserved landscapes and in which fauna and flora can develop in abundance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of alpinism is well anchored <\/strong>in the territory, hence the name “land of mountaineering” which is part of the FFCAM<\/strong><\/a> project. The objective is to perpetuate this history, to make mountaineering known to young people and thus to grow the mountaineering community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
