05310 Freissinières
An inhabited village at the heart of the Ecrins National Park which discloses its architecture and its history throughout its "quartiers"or hamlets.
Village perched up on the ice cap, Dormillouse overhangs the impetuous waterfall. Its isolation enabled the Vaudois, the « damned by God » in the Middle Ages, to take refuge from persectution.  Still today, you can only discover this village full of history on foot..

Very easy
  • Tips
    The path accessing Dormillouse can only be used in Summer. Remember: camping is forbidden including in and near the carpark.

    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.
