Parc national des Écrins

This walk leads to the top of the Roche Rousse cliff and offers a lovely view over Châteauroux and the Durance and Rabioux valleys. The Roche Rousse viewpoint is reached via a shaded, gentle path that allows you to gain height easily... ideal for a ‘landscape appreciation’ break on arrival!

A pleasant circular family walk with a beautiful view over the Réallon valley. The ascent begins in the cool shade of a beech wood, then through a beautiful larch forest, before reaching old hay meadows, a reminder of past activities. The ruins of old alpine chalets evoke what life in the mountains used to be like. As the path reaches a balcony-like section, the landscape opens up to a sweeping view of the Réallon valley.

A journey through a rocky landscape in the heart of a valley, offering a glimpse of the glacial landscapes of the Ecrins. Built in 1886 to replace a rock shelter used by the first mountaineers, the former Tuckett refuge bears witness to the pioneering era of mountaineering in Vallouise during the second half of the 19th century.
