Tourism, activities, services… all the wealth of the territory

It is said that there is something for everyone… in the Hautes-Alpes, all tastes are in Nature, Nature with a capital N… Are you more of a sporty and invigorating tourist? Cultural tourism? Heritage tourism? Gastronomic tourism? Or are you just looking to relax?

A breathtaking natural diversity

When it comes to tourism, the Hautes Alpes can pride itself on satisfying the most demanding travellers.

Diversity… You will be delighted by the diversity offered by the Hautes Alpes in general and our territory in particular.
Diversity… This is the essential key word:

  • 1 national park (Parc National des Ecrins) and 1 regional natural park (Parc Naturel Régional du Queyras),
  • 1 mountain sea (Lac de Serre Ponçon)
  • 3 ski areas among the most famous (Serre Chevalier, Montgenèvre, La Grave)
  • Briançon and its Vauban fortresses, a town classified as a UNESCO heritage site
  • Mythical passes of the Tour de France (Col du Lautaret, Col du Galibier, Col de l’Izoard…)
  • Saint Véran, the highest town in France
  • … And so many other wonders that you can discover, rediscover and rediscover again by staying for a weekend or a holiday at L’Iscle de Prelles, a campsite in the Hautes Alpes. I would even say more, a family campsite in the Hautes Alpes, 3 stars, with heated swimming pool, snack bar and children’s club.
