05380 Châteauroux-les-Alpes
This itinerary for the good walker enables morning hikers to make the most of the cool air in the Rabioux valley and to observe Champsaur, les Ecrins and their surroundings in the early morning.
From the freshness of the larch forest to the heat of the sun on the final slope, the Tourettes mountain-pass links the Durance valley to that of the Drac. It offers a spectacular view of the Champsaur and the surrounding massifs. The watchful eye "armed with binoculars" will observe the chamois which populate the slopes of the Dent mountain or will stealthily observe the fluttering of  the Wall Creeper.

  • Tips
    Since the slope is exposed to the sun, plan to leave for your hike early in the morning.

    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.
