Waterfall, wildlife and heritage

Freissinières nestles in a "little corner of the world", a hidden valley with steep walls sculpted by majestic curtains of ice. In the background, on the sunny heights, stands the village of Dormillouse. This singular hamlet with its atypical history is a jewel in the heart of the Ecrins National Park! A must-see!
