Two resorts are better than one at
Dévoluy, especially when they combine to cover 100km of pistes. SuperDévoluy and La Joue du Loup perch on a high plateau in the peaceful northwestern reaches of
Hautes-Alpes.
Families love Dévoluy, where beginners get the best of the pistes and there is direct access to the slopes. But that doesn't mean more ambitious skiers are neglected. The two steepest trails are at the top of the mountain, with plenty of powder fields above the treeline. Snowboarders can make use of the snowpark in La Joue du Loup.
There are 35km of cross-country ski trails and 30km for snowshoeing through tranquil woods. If you want some virtual company, hire a Taïsson audioguide which will fill you in on the local flora and fauna. If you prefer a real live human, then a mountain guide can take you on a moonlit snowshoe walk towards a mountain restaurant for dinner.
