Auris, Les Sures

A walk through Europe’s highest spruce forest! This panoramic footpath affords a breath-taking vista across the surrounding mountain ranges and a commanding view of the Bourg d’Oisans plain. With its rugged terrain and forests, which are ideal for overwintering, the area provides a particularly suitable habitat for chamois. If you stay alert and respect their habitat, there’s a good chance that you’ll see one!
