Nature, Colors, and Tranquility
In autumn, Val Ferret dresses in warm, luminous hues: larch and fir forests turn shades of yellow, orange, and red, creating a magical atmosphere that invites you to slow down and savor every moment.
It’s the perfect season for lovers of trekking, gentle walks, or mountain biking, enjoying the quieter trails far from the summer crowds. The pace of the valley becomes slow, almost meditative: every step lets you hear the wind rustling through the trees, the crunch of leaves, and the sounds of local wildlife.

White, Silence, and Adventure
In winter, Val Ferret transforms into a true snowy kingdom: larch and fir forests blanketed in snow, peaks sparkling in the sunlight, and breathtaking landscapes that seem straight out of a fairy tale.

The star of the season is cross-country skiing, with perfectly groomed trails winding through snow-covered forests and meadows, suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers.

Val Ferret becomes a place where movement meets contemplation, far from the crowds, breathing in the crisp, pure air and experiencing the mountains in all their poetic beauty.
