Hiking: walking is like second nature for Hauts-alpins and it is one of those simple pleasures offered by the Ecrins park and its surroundings, whatever the level.
More generally, all mountain sports are practicable: climbing, white water sports, canyoning, etc. A guide office is installed below the house, on the banks of the Durance.
Mountain biking: the area is full of routes for mountain bikers from the village itself. Around 30 circuits are accessible, including two legendary descents: Vars-Embrun and Orres-Embrun.
