Biaysse (rivière) walks

This circuit in the PNE (Écrins National Park) will take you to two beautiful lakes at the foot of the two Pinier peaks that dominate the area.

Hike along the ridges starting from the Freissinières valley.

This long tour is an extension of the classic tour of the Palluel and Faravel lakes. This time, we will be touring the three lakes in the region, starting from the car park at the end of the Freissinières valley.

From Dormillouse to Prapic via the Col des Terres Blanches.

Reaching Lac du Fangeas via Dormillouse allows you to enjoy a beautiful hike while avoiding the busy trails.

Dormillouse, a Vaudois hamlet hidden at the bottom of the Fressinière Valley, is as charming as ever. Steeped in history, it was a refuge for persecuted populations and enjoyed a resurgence of interest after 1968 as people sought a return to nature. It is also the only village in the Écrins National Park that is inhabited all year round. This route features a circular loop through the meadows beyond the hamlet of Romans. This rarely visited area offers wonderful views in the evening light.

From Prapic to Dormillouse via the Fressinières Pass. Please note: the height difference is only 1200 m.

Based on the route already suggested on Visorando, the Cimetière des Vaudois, I suggest a route that allows you to discover, after the cemetery, the Grotte des Fazys, where some of these Waldensians were smoked out during the 14th and 15th centuries. This is followed by a detour through some of the charming neighbourhoods that make up the village of Freissinières, an educational route (arboretum) and finally a return via the Bois de Monsieur, along the Torrent de la Biaysse.

A lovely mountain bike loop, climbing on a forest track and descending on a remarkable trail through a cool larch forest. Fans of fast, flowing single tracks will be delighted. Straddling the municipalities of Freissinières and Champcella, the latter have always fought over the mountain pastures, and this is still the case today. There is a very short section where you will need to carry your bike.
