Hiking - La cabane de Jas Lacroix

An easy, cool walk to the Jas-Lacroix pastoral hut, along the Selle stream.

"In the spring, before the flocks arrive in the valley, it is not rare to see a chamois in front of the hut in the early hours. They come to lick the stones on which the shepherd has put salt for the sheep during the summer."

Blandine Delanette, Warden for the Vallouise area.

The road leading to the car park is closed in winter and opens earlier or later in in the spring depending on avalanche activity. Please do not disturb the work of the shepherd and respect her privacy at the pastoral hut.
