Ephemeral, is a free-ride that has a limited duration in the timing of the season depending on the conditions of sunshine

 An experience without technical difficulty designed to simply reconnect with nature.

Everything starts from the top of the Signal of Man at an altitude of 2176 m.

From there you descend quietly towards Auris-en-Oisans where the view is perfect on the Meije and Les-2-Alpes. Enjoy the show! The gentle slopes guide you in the footsteps of Count Géraud Aurillac, who erected a chapel in 890, This place is calm and allows you to drift off and maybe meditate for a while!
