Hiking - The Grande Cabane

This long elevated hike in the superb glacial Fournel valley gives you access to exceptional biodiversity.

« At sunrise, as I went up to carry out a sanitary check on the chamois goats in Clouzis valley, the grass suddenly moved under my shoes. It was a slow worm, this lizard without legs which is very rare to see at altitude. »

Jean-Philippe Telmon, park ranger in  Vallouise. 

The carpark is two steps away from the Deslioures nature reserve, the biggest European site for The Queen of the Alps (Alpine Sea Holly), a protected plant. It usually flowers at the end of June and the beginning of August. It is forbidden to pick this plant.
