Les Claux

Plateau de Chambran

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Chambran plateau, known as Chambran, has the label of natural park and thus constitutes an area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. This status means it is strongly protected. The landscapes there are fantastic. If it is the starting point for many hikes to the peaks, it is also enough to be a superb hiking destination.

Chambran Valley

Highlight • Gorge

From Pelvoux you climb just over 7 kilometers to end up in the Chambran Valley. Once at the top, the landscape opens up and you cycle onto a beautiful plateau. You pass a chapel and a few cabins. Those who want can have a drink at the simple mountain hut at the end of the asphalt road. Mind you, because they don't have coffee...

Ailefroide – Torrent du Saint-Pierre

Pré de Madame Carle

Highlight • Trail

Pre Madame Carle is arguably the most beautiful valley in France. The climb ends after more than 13 kilometers at 1876 meters at a refuge. Here you are surrounded by alpine giants. This is the starting point for many walks and tours to the Glacier Blanc, Glacier Noir or the Barre des Écrins - at 4102 meters the highest peak of the Écrins Massif. When you cycle here, you realize again how small you are...

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.
