A family enjoys skiing together on a slope in Le Dévoluy, surrounded by bright snow and a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a child makes a dynamic turn spraying powder, while the others follow behind, highlighting the fun and family-friendly nature of the ski area.
The Dévoluy massif offers a wide range of winter sports activities. Up to an altitude of 2500 metres on the alpine slopes, ontouring skis in the many immaculate valleys between the Obiou and the Chauvet, in the middle of the larches on cross-country skis, with the family, with a sledge dog, during an event, on a snooc or a snowskate. Skiing in all its forms and for all levels can be enjoyed here!

Curious about new forms of snow sports? Or perhaps you’re already an aficionado of one of them, the white gold...
Dévoluy is home to the most powerful interferometer in the northern hemisphere. On the Bure plateau (at an altitude of 2,550m), twelve giant antennae, each fifteen metres in diameter, offer an unprecedented spectacle, in a setting worthy of a science fiction film. Here, at the NOEMA observatory, the team from theInstitut de Radio Astronomie Millimétrique (IRAM) is at work. Although the observatory is not a tourist attraction and therefore cannot be visited, the Bure plateau is nevertheless accessible to a well-informed public, after several hours’ walking or ski touring.
