Hiking - Le col de Freissinières

A varied route through forest, prairie, moraine and cliffs striped with waterfalls up to 2782m to reach the Fressinières pass, which is also known as the Orcières pass.

"Whilst coming down from the Fressinières pass one July morning, where there were still névés on the the slopes that had the least sun, two animals were running in the snow. Two roe deer at 2500 metres in altitude! What fantastic adaptability! »
