Villar-Saint-Pancrace, located in the French Hautes-Alpes, has deep historical roots linked to the Briançon area. It was a community of the Escartons of Briançon (charter of 1343) as Villarus Sanctus Pancratius. Historically, it was linked to agriculture and, until 1987, to coal mining by local farmers (charbourièro), particularly in the hamlet of La Tour.

The Col de la Trancoulette is a scenic hiking destination accessible from Les Combes with a 435-meter elevation gain. The trail is marked and of medium difficulty; ideal for summer, with views of Briançon and the surrounding ridges. It leads to the nearby peak of La Croix d'Aquila.

On the way along the flanks of the Montbrison Massif, you will pass a small chapel tucked away in the hamlet of Les Combes. Built in 1718, the Chapelle Saint-Roch still bears the inscription above its entrance: “Passants, Saint Roch préservez-nous de la peste.” (“Travellers, Saint Roch, protect us from the plague.”) Saint Roch is known as the protector of travellers, pilgrims and the sick. The chapel is simple and humble, built from stone and wood, with a flat barrel vault and shingle roof — a quiet witness to centuries of passage through these mountains. As you ride past, pause for a moment. Try the doo... if it’s open.

Stop to recharge with some delicious ice cream.

Many circuits departing from Briancon to go towards Izoard, Granon or Montgenevre. An unmissable point in the north of the Hautes-Alpes

Briançon is a fortified city in the heart of the French Alps. At 1,326 meters above sea level it is one of the highest cities in France. Its fortifications, designed by Vauban in the 17th century, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic center is of medieval origin with colorful houses, sundials, fountains and frescoes. It is the starting point for several famous Alpine passes, including the Col d'Izoard, but it is also a tourist and cultural destination not to be missed.
