Guide of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

Travel Guide > France > Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur > Alpes-de-Haute-Provence > Ubaye valley

Nestled between Provence and Mercantour, the Ubaye valley, whose chief town is the welcoming Barcelonnette, is a popular destination for outdoor activities. Wild and unspoiled, this area of glacial origin, dominated by mountains of over 3,000 metres, is a delight for fans of hiking, skiing and canoeing. In the Upper Ubaye area, nature lovers absolutely must make the wonderful hike to the beautiful Neufs Couleurs lake situated 2,841 metres above sea level.

The Ubaye valley will also delight fans of heritage buildings, with the beautiful Romanesque church of Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye, the impressive little Châtelet bridge suspended over narrow gorges, the hilltop fort of Tournoux and Abriès mill in Jausiers.
