About : “D’âme en hameaux” path

Vaujany and its hamlets enjoy a relatively mild climate, due to their excellent exposure.
The snow almost never clutters the lower hamlets, it only stays in La Villette, the highest hamlet of the commune. A hike to discover this hamlet is proposed.

Welcome: Summer advices :
- Check the weather conditions before you leave.
- In case of emergency call 112.
- Adapt your clothing to the activity: good shoes, windbreaker, cap...
- Bring snacks and water.

Winter advices :
- Make sure that snow does not get into your shoes by using gaiters.
-While snowshoeing:
- Remember to release the heel of the snowshoe! For your information, the back of the foot is sometimes tied up when going downhill when there is a lot of snow.
- Go with poles, essential for balance.
- Don't hesitate to tap your snowshoe with the pole from time to time, it allows to remove some of the snow and thus to lighten your step.
- Foggy glasses are usually a good indicator of too much body heat or too rapid a change in body heat. If this happens, you can reduce your speed, the number of layers of clothing or simply ventilate by allowing cool air to enter under your windbreaker.
