Les Sûres – en raquettes depuis Auris-en-Oisans
Let's go for a snowshoe hike towards the summit of the Sûres! After crossing the large spruce forest and then following the crest of the Sûres, you will be rewarded with a 360-degree view of the Oisans peaks!
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Departure: last parking lot of the station
Elevation: 217 m
Return distance: 5.1 km
Duration: 2 hour 30 minutes

MAP AND TOPO
Pedestrian and Nordic map of the Alpe d'Huez area (available at the tourist office).
ROUTE
Take the track to the right of the entrance to the last car park of the resort, at the top of Rue de Piégut. You will then enter the Piégut forest, the largest high-altitude spruce forest in Europe. After the first bend, at the intersection, continue straight. You will come out of the forest and find yourself near the slopes. Make sure you stay on the route. Once on the heights, near the ridge, turn right towards Les Sûres. You will then be able to admire a panorama of the peaks and valleys of Oisans. You can also take the opportunity to eat.
For the return, the route plans to take the track that is shared with skiers, passing close to the reservoir, but it is also possible to take the same path as on the way there (through the Piégut forest).
