Take the high road
The Escartons High Road is one of the best-known Nordic walking routes in France. Hit the cross-border route in summer (snowshoe in winter) and explore 115km of stunning landscapes in Queyras, Clarée Valley and Briançonnais. The route oozes adventure, history and freedom: people living in the valley were once part of the Escartons Republic.
