Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans

The landscape around Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans is a steep high-Alpine valley carved by the Vénéon, which has shaped both its scattered hamlets and livelihoods linked to pastoralism and mountain travel. The commune lies in the Oisans sector of Écrins National Park, amid glaciers and major summits of the Écrins massif. La Bérarde, one of its settlements, has long been associated with alpinism; guide Pierre Gaspard made the first ascent of La Meije in 1877. Hiking and climbing routes make this a serious mountain base rather than a large resort. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Oisans and the Écrins.
