  St Etienne en Dévoluy

 
In the Southern Alpes, gateway to Provence with a sunny climate, a mountainous fortress clearly separates the Dévoluy from its neighbours the Ecrins and Vercors.

The village of St Etienne en Dévoluy is accessible by the Col de Festre from the south, the Gorges de Souloise from the north and the spectacular Col du Noyer (not open during winter) to the east with its famous Napoleonic refuge. The village St Etienne en Dévoluy (1,300 m alt.), less than 2 miles from the ski resorts Superdévoluy and La Joue de Loup and 65 miles of ski slopes. Ski shuttle from village to ski resorts.
The Dévoluy offers a wide range of winter and summer activities including, cycling, hiking, caving (over 300 caves "coldrum") via ferrata as well as, of course, cross-country and alpine skiing.
