05480 Villar-d'Arêne
Permafrost and rock glacier... a hike in the land of cold pebbles.
On the track, at an altitude of about 2500 m, look about! In the South/South East  direction you can see at the foot of the Western peak of the Combeynot four white  spheres (about 35 cm in diameter)... they are  the landmarks enabling scientists to  measure the evolution of the rock glacier at  Laurichard.

  • Tips
    Put a top in your bag; the weather changes so quickly at these altitudes.

    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.
