The area is part of the Ubaye Valley, which stretches through several communes, including Barcelonnette, the largest town in the region. The valley itself is carved by the Ubaye River and is surrounded by towering peaks, making it a striking location for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Some highlights of Haute-Ubaye include:
Barcelonnette: The main town in the area, known for its charming architecture and vibrant cultural scene. The town has a unique history with links to Mexico due to a period of migration in the 19th century when many locals went to Mexico and later returned with wealth, influencing the town's architecture and traditions.
Aiguilles de Chambeyron: A famous mountain in the region, popular with climbers and alpinists.
Ubaye Valley: A picturesque valley that runs through the region, offering opportunities for both summer and winter sports.
Winter Sports: The area is home to several ski resorts, including the Pra-Loup and Sauze-Super Sauze resorts, which offer downhill skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities.
Nature and Wildlife: The surrounding national parks, such as the Parc National du Mercantour, make the area a haven for hikers, with trails leading through beautiful forests, alpine meadows, and pristine lakes. It's also an area rich in wildlife, including ibex, marmots, and golden eagles.
The Haute-Ubaye region is characterized by a unique blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and cultural history, making it a great destination for those looking to explore the French Alps.
