Description

The name of this site keeps its promise! The final surprise is greater because the suspense is kept right until the end.
Magic and enchantment in a lunar landscape "Oh! What dirty pigs!" They have left their empty bottle in this supernatural setting! I get closer to pick it up, but a few metres away I realise my mistake. It is not a bottle but a mountain hare! It relies on its motionlessness to blend into the background. I saw you! Fold your ears back next time!" Michel Francou, warden in the Champsaur area
  • Tips
    Flocks of sheep may be guarded by dogs. Some may be good-natured but others less so. Keep calm and keep your distance.

    Is in the midst of the park : The national park is an unrestricted natural area but subjected to regulations which must be known by all visitors.
    Herd protection dogs : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
