The Écrins National Park

Between the Northern and Southern Alps, the Écrins National Park is one of France’s 10 national parks, located in one of the highest massifs in France, with over 150 summits at an altitude of over 3,000 metres.
It’s a protected site for mountain wildlife: chamois goats, ibexes, wolves, golden eagles, bearded vultures, griffon vultures, owls, rock ptarmigans, ermines, mountain hares, marmots…
You’ll also find over 2,500 plant species, including 40 rare or threatened species.
The area is home to more than 740 kilometres of hiking trails ranging from short family walks to expeditions that take several weeks.
