Chantemerle / Saint-Chaffrey,
a true center of experience!
A must-see alpine icon, the Granon can also be discovered via the many hiking trails that criss-cross the mountain pastures.
In this Natura 2000 area, wildlife cohabits with protected species such as the black grouse, a rich endemic flora, forests and pastures dedicated to pastoralism. The alpine hamlet of Les Tronchets is the first stop on the way to the buvette at the summit of the pass, set between military buildings.
From this postcard ode to nature, paragliders take to the air, while mountain bikers look on with envy as they pedal up the mountain. At Le Granon, the playful possibilities are wide open. You can walk, run, ride, fly, eat, rest and breathe the fresh air. Contemplation is encouraged at every level of the Alps.
Opposite, on the ubac side of the ski lifts, cross-country afficionados can enjoy the Serre Chevalier Vallée BriançonBike Park.
Mountain bikes, DH bikes, karts and big-wheeled scooters race down shod trails for fans of banked turns, woops and enduro. Four different areas cater for all levels of riders. Including those who, after a climb to the summits via the historic red Ratier cable car, want to try out the giant zip line and split the wind at breakneck speed.
Chantemerle, nestled along the Guisane, stretches out its Parc des Colombiers, another place for sporty and relaxing libations: pumptrack, tennis, paths, children's games, restaurant, boules pitch, barbecues, pond and above all Organic swimming.
Set in a wooded setting, this natural aquatic area offers ecological bathing. An innovative and refreshing concept in the heart of the sometimes very hot summer! Even the sundial needles adorning the houses in the hamlets of Chantemerle and Villard-Laté. From chapels and churches to fountains and bread ovens, the alleyways of these mountain villages are brimming with a heritage that tells the story of these high-altitude regions, which continue to celebrate their mountain culture at village festivals.
Did you know?
The canals of the Briançonnais
Built in the Middle Ages, the twelve watering canals of the Briançonnais region enable crops to be grown in very delicate weather conditions. The 120 km of Briançonnais canals regulate runoff during storms and snowmelt. They also contribute to the development of nearby vegetation and groundwater recharge. Their elimination would be a catastrophe for the Briançonnais and could have an indirect impact on the risk of fire. That's why this heritage is carefully maintained.
