Ailefroide

Highlight • Other

Ailefroide is a small village in the woods of the Écrins massif. You drive through it on the climb to Pre Madame Carle. The village is crowded in summer by hikers and climbers, who often stay at the beautiful large campsite. In winter, the village is closed off from the outside world because of the snowfall.
