Hiking - The Dormillouse circuit

Off to the only inhabited village in the Ecrins National Park.

This circuit takes a closer look at the heights of Dormillouse via the meadowland. You can see how the village was adapted to the slope by the inhabitants. They knew they needed to build a narrow strip that was sheltered from avalanches. Over time, they developed architectural skills that have endured over time.

The path leading to Dormillouse is only open in summer.
Please note: camping is forbidden, including near the car park.
