Feel like blazing your own trail in fresh snow? Renting a snowshoe in Pelvoux Vallouise opens the door to a breathtaking setting of larch forests, pristine glades and views of Mont Pelvoux. Accessible to all, it's the easiest way to get a taste of winter in the Écrins, with no constraints and at your own pace.

There's no shortage of itineraries. Along the Onde and Gyronde torrents, you can walk gently through the valley, perfect for a family outing. Towards Narreyroux, alpine chalets and sunny plateaus offer a luminous setting. Snow permitting, the area around Ailefroide becomes a wilderness interlude, with occasional tracks of mountain hares or chamois in the powder.
