Did you know that the Hautes-Alpes department has the highest number of painted sundials in France? As an integral part of the local historical heritage, many of these works of gnomonic art adorn the houses in Serre Chevalier and its surroundings. While it can be fun to search for them on your own during a stroll through the village, nothing beats the company of a local guide to discover as many as possible and learn fascinating facts about them. So, if this intrigues you, why not join this guided electric mountain bike excursion in Serre Chevalier, dedicated to these sundials scattered across the Briançonnais region?
Departing from Saint-Chaffrey, La Salle-les-Alpes, or Le Monêtier-les-Bains, depending on your preference, you will set off for a ride of about 3 hours on an e-MTB in Serre Chevalier. Surrounded by the Écrins, Arves, and Queyras massifs, you will experience this adventure in an outstanding natural setting. From the saddle of an electrically-assisted mountain bike, you will easily cover the 20 kilometres ahead of you, as well as the 200 metres of positive and negative elevation. The route is accessible to all abilities from the age of 10, so do not hesitate to join in, even if you only cycle occasionally. You will be in a small group of no more than 8 participants, which is perfect for enjoying a warm, friendly atmosphere.
Combining explanations of local history, traditional architecture, and the unique features of the Serre Chevalier valley's sundials, you will finish this experience having learnt a wealth of new things about the Briançonnais.
