A trail to discover the secret charm of the hamlets of the Pays des Écrins.
“You think you know the hamlets of Vallouise and Pelvoux when you go there by road. But approaching them via the footpaths is another experience altogether. Not to mention the pleasure of walking on these little-trod paths.” Marie-Geneviève Nicolas, park ranger at the Parc National des Écrins

- TipsIt is possible to complete only some sections of this loop. In particular, at the Rif Paulin you can drop back down to Vallouise via Pra Peyron or, instead, park at the Vallouise cemetery car park, set off from Rivière Pont, climb up via Pra Peyron to reach the Rif Paulin and, from there, carry on towards Le Poët and return to Vallouise following the described route.
Check weather conditions before setting off.
