Marmot Trail

Cultural, Pedestrian sports, Course in Eygliers
0.7 km
  • Marmots on the valley floor! A unique experience accessible to all (PRM, strollers)! Here, marmots live in freedom and can be admired up close, thanks to this trail.

  • "The marmots of Eygliers wait quietly a few minutes from the parking lot on the lawns that serve as their larder and at the foot of their pudding rocks. You don't need any training, just your desire to admire them as a respectful witness. Sit discreetly to admire them, and from time to time raise your head to take in the panoramic view of the valley and the Ecrins glaciers in the background.

WARNING: it is strictly forbidden to feed the marmots or to leave the marked trail!

    Marmots generally hibernate from mid-October to April, depending on weather and temperature. ‘Birds, marmots, ermines, chamois, ibex,
    and all the little people of fur and feathers
    now need your friendship to survive.
    Declare peace to the timid animals.
    Don't disturb them in their business.
    So that future springs
    will bring joy to your children.
