Gîte-Auberge le Chamois
Cascade of Confolens and villages |
At about 20 minutes from the chalet, we head for the little valley of the Tourot. This 20 km2 little valley is entirely situated within the National Park of Les Ecrinsand is part of the village of Le Périer. We’re on our way to the ice cascade and the two villages of Confolens (Confolens le bas and Confolens le haut). A little walk with a difference in height of 400 m that only takes half a day if you don’t go to the Brèche du Périer that allows you, among other things, to reach the valley of Lauvitel en Oisans.

 We chose to go on the forest path but it is wiser to choose the forest road that is far less icy ! |
 In the distance the cascade of Confolens that we discover through the fog. |
 A well known site for rock-climbing ... In this month of May, the ice has started to melt |
