Aussois

A natural interlude between the sky and the fir trees. The Jomier Loop takes you from a vast open plateau, bathed in light and tranquility, to a more secluded forest, where the wind shapes the trees and carries a subtle scent of resin.

Description

Along the way, you'll be captivated by the panoramic views of the majestic Pointe de Longe Côte (3,104 m), which dominates the Aussois and the surrounding peaks.

Additional welcome

Check the weather conditions and avalanche risk before you set out (weather services, mountain rescue services, professionals, tourist office...).
Make sure your gear and clothing are appropriate for the forecast.
Postpone your activity if the weather forecast is poor. Follow safety instructions and do not stray from marked trails in winter.
