Hiking - From Villar d'Arène to the hamlet of Les Hières

Discover through this hike the joy of taking your time without using the car and of starting your walk right from your doorstep.
From the village of Villar d'Arène, you’ll have the chance to cross an authentic mountain village that will make you feel far away from it all. In addition, you’ll discover the hamlet of Valfroide, a place filled with a rich and unique heritage in the land of La Meije. These houses, cut off from any electricity and inhabited only part of the year, hold within their stones the history of transhumance and mountain traditions...
You may cross fields occupied by animals — be sure to carefully close the gates behind you.
