Nature

Les Oucanes is a limestone pavement within the Aiguilles de Chabrières, featuring more than 20 straight fissures, some of which are up to 25 metres deep. The path to Fort de Réallon leads to a plateau with meadows; from there, the panorama stretches from the summit of Barle to Lac de Serre-Ponçon.

In the upper Réallon Valley, observing chamois is relatively easy, especially in autumn during the rutting season and in winter.
