→ Cross-country ski trails are groomed, marked and safe. Access is subject to a charge and reserved for Nordic skiers.

→ Night-time activities and biathlon shooting in the Nordic area must be supervised by a professional.

Winter conditions are very pleasant all day long. However, from March onwards, it's best to practice in the morning, as some of the trails are quickly exposed to the sun.

Saint-Étienne de Vallouise Church
Listed and protected as an historic monument since 22 October 1913, the church dedicated to Saint Stephen is one of the most beautiful religious edifices in Hautes-Alpes. It is typical of the Romanesque churches in the Briançon region built in the second half of the 15th century, although its exact construction date is still uncertain.
