The Guisane valley has a rich selection of mountain bike trails that climb up mountain paths through larch forests and descent the green fields of Alpine pastures, letting you explore all aspects of the mountain environment. There are kilometres and kilometres of marked paths for mountain bike enthusiasts in Serre Chevalier…

Canyoning : With its source at the Col du Lautaret, the Guisane follows the Serre Chevalier valley. The Guisane doesn’t have any steep-sided gorges or raging torrents, and this makes it the ideal place for an introduction to mountain water sports or simply as a refreshing change. But beware: for all its placid and calm appeal, it is still an Alpine river and you will be surprised by how fast and strong it is as it reaches Briançon.

Fishing : The mountains above the Serre Chevalier valley also hide numerous lakes and ponds. The crystalline purity of the water means it is home to several species of fish, including: brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout and arctic char. The mountain lakes are found above 1800m. They are very often glacial in origin and are fed by mountain streams. A few of them have spawning areas and fish can reproduce in them. Only those holding valid permits, on sale in the Tourist Office and newsagents, are allowed to fish in the valley.

The Ecrins National Park is home to around 210 and almost 110 other species of vertebrate. There are 1800 species of plant in the park and its surrounding areas, 40 of which are rare or endangered and 35 are endemic to the park itself. Our mountain species are: Arolla pine, black pine, downy oak and beech. Animals : Chamois, Ibex, Marmots, Golden eagles. Top
