As one would imagine this region provides some of the most dramatic walking terrain in France. Very popular with hardened mountaineers and climbers, La Grave also has something to offer the more mainstream trekker. There are over forty marked walking itineraries in the area and the lifts continue to operate throughout the summer months giving easy access to the higher trails on La Meije.
It is important to remember that this is a serious destination and wandering too far from the beaten track can lead to glaciated or climbing terrain. The sort of places where eagles are more common than chamois! Take care.
