Snowshoeing itinerary: Du Moulin au Viguet

Under the benevolent gaze of Fort Marie-Christine, perched on its rocky outcrop, the route winds its way towards the gorges of the Saint-Benoît torrent.

Description

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