An easy circuit along narrow roads and forest tracks, starting from the family resort of Pelvoux-Vallouise.
This easy route leads to the river Gyr, fed by glaciers, running alongside the snow front of the ski resort. You will climb up the right-hand bank of this water course to the gorges of the Gyr. Provided with a via ferrata, this rocky outcrop also looks over the museum of the Les Claux hydroelectric power station. >>>> RECOMMANDATIONS Rescue services contact details: Secours Montagne(Mountain Rescue): +33 (0)4 92 22 22 22 or 112 Take your litter home Do not take shortcuts across pastureland
  • Tips
    Herd protection dogs - ATV : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When mountain biking, I adapt my behavior by going around the herd, pausing and getting off the bike so the dog can 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.
