Here, the larch forest draws silent paths where each step crunches in the snow. Snowshoe rental in Saint Leger Les Melezes lets you discover this scenery at your own pace, far from the hustle and bustle of the slopes, with gentle itineraries and open views over the Champsaur valley and the peaks of the Écrins massif.

Winter is generous in the Hautes-Alpes: dry cold in the morning, clear light in the afternoon, and sunshine often present. The best outings are at dawn, when the snow is firm and quiet, just after a fall, for the magic of "fresh snow", or at the end of the day, when the forest is ablaze with golden light. The season generally runs from December to March, depending on snow conditions.
