Discover a 3-day program of outdoor activities and must-sees around the Col d'Izoard in winter, in Cervières Izoard, Villard-Saint-Pancrace and Puy-Saint-Pierre for a successful vacation with friends!

DAY 1 we climb the Col d'Izoard in Snooc

What's that thing? A snooc? You go up with skis and, at the top, a little transformation manipulation and off you go down the slope sitting on a toboggan!

You don't even need to wear ski boots (but you don't need Vans or Moon Boots either)!

To make gliding easier, we take the shared track to the mythical Col d'Izoard, and if we want to play it cool, we leave with Tristan from SoSnooc, who will prepare us a tasty local meal by the campfire at the end of the climb.

Day 2 breaking the codes of skating

It's decided, we're finally going to take skating lessons, because to tell you the truth, we've never been able to master the sliding support, let alone the balance.

An hour or two with an instructor will put us on the right track!

When your thighs are on fire, stop off for a snack or an aperitif in front of the fireplace, or on the terrace, at the Petit Cerf Lodge in Cervières.

If it's Sunday lunchtime, you could be tempted by a leg of lamb roasted over an open fire at the Auberge l'Arpelin in Le Laus.

Day 3 panoramic walk to the Puys

Several options are available for the last day

If you want to keep your skis on: a morning of skiing at Le Prorel or a tour on ski touring along the signposted route between Puy-Saint-Pierre and the Col du Prorel for breathtaking views.

For a change of scenery, we climb to the panoramic heights of the Briançonnais for a snowshoe hike to the hamlet of Les Combes.
