Renting a snowshoe in Ancelle opens the door to a bright and accessible winter. On its sunny plateau at 1,350 m, this Hautes-Alpes village offers gentle itineraries between larch clearings and typical hamlets, with the Champsaur and Écrins peaks as a backdrop. Progress at your own pace, with family or friends, away from the noise, following animal tracks and the crunch of fresh snow.

Here, the climate of the southern Alps blends deep blue and dry cold: perfect for an outing from December to March. After a snowfall, mornings are ideal for enjoying firm snow and immaculate landscapes. In the afternoon, temperatures ease, but the golden light at the end of the day sublimates the forests. Don't forget to check the weather report and the snow risk, even for marked itineraries.
