A neighbouring valley to Orcières, the Champoléon valley peacefully follows the course of the Drac Blanc, offering visitors a wild, authentic mountain landscape, full of traditions. Plunging into the heart of the Ecrins National Park, the Champoléon valley is surrounded by peaks of over 3000m, dominated by the Sirac (3440m).
A kingdom of herds, the star of which is the tardon – a spring lamb reared in the mother’s womb and then in the mountain pastures, celebrated each autumn when the animals are removed from the mountain pastures – the valley is also home to a large population of chamois and ibex. You can get to know the world of pastoralism at the Maison du Berger.
