A route through the forest with a beautiful panoramic view at the Col de la Pousterle.

“It was a beautiful autumn day and I knew it was somewhere about because I had just heard its very distinctive call. I peered into the larch branches and there it was. A tiny pygmy owl. Perched on a branch amid the red needles and the grey lichens, it was looking at me.” Marie-Geneviève Nicolas, park ranger at the Parc National des Écrins.
