Le Dévoluy

Superdévoluy and La Joue du Loup share 100 km of runs in the Dévoluy massif, between the Vercors and the Southern Alps: a wild, mineral limestone cirque that looks like nothing else in the Alps. The area peaks at 2,500 m and enjoys snow reliability often better than its latitude would suggest, thanks to weather systems that break against the cliffs. Superdévoluy embraces its 1960s concrete architecture; La Joue du Loup, built twenty years later in wood and stone, is distinctly more appealing. Prices remain among the gentlest in the Alps for an area of this size.
