Snowshoeing itinerary: From Moulin to Viguet

Under the watchful eye of Fort Marie-Christine, perched on its rocky outcrop, the route winds its way toward the gorges of the Saint-Benoît torrent.

Description

Here, crumbly marl and limestone cliffs tell a story spanning millions of years, shaped by water and frost. Further up, the path opens onto the village of Aussois, bathed in light, like a reward
at the end of the climb.

Additional welcome
