Plateau d'Emparis

Highlight • Other

The Emparis plateau is in the middle of a protected area. You will therefore have a good chance of encountering the rich fauna of the Écrins. It is also a privileged space for the bivouac (find out about local regulations).
On the plateau, you will strongly feel what is called the great outdoors: the plateau is very extensive and offers an incredible view of La Meije and its glaciers.

Saint-Georges Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the highest point of the tour is a parking lot. As a cyclist worth a short rest, because of the fantastic view. The next rest stop is, if you continue on the eastern side of the mountain, in the Refuge des Mouterres.

Village of Besse-en-Oisans

Highlight • Settlement

Small village on the border of Isère, Savoie and Hautes-Alpes, Besse is a place to see! Moreover, the saying itself says it: “He who has not seen Besse and Emparis has seen nothing”
Let yourself be surprised by this wonderful little village in the heart of Oisans.
