The Aiguilles de Chabrières hike is a difficult 11 km route, with a positive elevation gain of 803 m, which takes you to the heart of a breathtaking mineral landscape. The start is from the ski lift ticket office of Réallon resort, first following a forest path.
You will cross the “alpine pasture, then reach a ridge where the view” widens. The ascent continues towards the Aiguilles, with a tricky passage between two rocks, the famous Chabrières breach. This section requires agility, as it is necessary to use your hands to pass through this narrow passage. Once this stage is crossed, you reach the “Oucane de Chabrières, a limestone platform” where the panorama is breathtaking, offering unobstructed views of the Briançonnais.
The descent is via a scree and a less marked path, leading you to the resort, along the Réallon valley, to finish the route at the resort parking lot. This route, lasting about 5h30, is reserved for experienced hikers.
The “Bird People” trail is an immersive family walk dedicated to discovering mountain birds. Accessible in summer and winter, this secure 2-hour to full-day itinerary is punctuated with information panels and relaxation areas.
The route offers breathtaking views of the Aiguilles de Chabrières and the Réallon valley, while being designed with local and recyclable materials, without ecological impact. This playful and poetic path invites you to daydream and reconnect with nature, while raising awareness about respecting the mountain environment.
