05310 Freissinières
A pleasant loop between larch forest, pastures, rocky paving with the added benefit of two lakes in the hollow of a natural cirque.
One summer night, at around 4 a.m, we were woken by the throaty, insistent call of a rock ptarmigan. The small grassy plateau overlooking the valley where we had put up our bivouac was in its territory and it was letting us know.

  • Tips
    The footpath that gives access to Dormillouse is only practicable in the summer. Reminder: no camping even near to the car park.
    A flock is present on the pastures and "Patou" dogs ensure their protection. Avoid passing through the flock.

    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.
