Day 3 - Through the Larches in St Leger Les Melezes
Half day snowshoe walk through forest ending up at a high altitude chalet for mulled wine
St Leger Les Melezes is a beautiful little ski village situated half way up the mountain in a forest of larch trees (melezes - is larch in french).
There is a whole network of forest tracks and trails criss crossing the mountain side with magnificent views over the Champsaur valley and of the Vieux Chaillol mountain (Champsaur's highest mountain).
This walk can be as strenuous or relaxing as you like - it is very easily adaptable. There are steep paths going all the way up to the summit of La Cuchon or gentle traverses of the forest - you can decide on the day!
It's best to do this walk as an afternoon.... and finish it in the high altitude chalet hidden away in the forest! After a few hours of fresh air and exercise a glass of mulled wine or cup of steaming hot chocolate will be just the ticket!
