 department' information
This departement is formed of valleys canyons and mountains going from the northern Alps to Provence following the Napoleon's route to Gap. The atmosphere has stayed casual and convivial.
There is an alpine feeling in this departement due to its steep slopes, the abondance of snow and the mountain villages. Its Provencal character remains true, however, because of the sunny days, the cooking,and of course that typical Provencal accent.
The Hautes Alpes boasts of more than 30 different ski ressorts from Queyras to Devolny, from the Briangon area to the Vallonite. Every type of skiing is available even parachute skiing, all enjoyed in the warm atmosphere of authentic chalets, snowy pastures and sleigh rides.
In summer, the splendor of this departement can be discovered through the varied activities at hand. We has such different choices as hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, mountain climbing or even hang gliding. Sailing is possible and since there are 500km of rivers rafting kayaking and canyoning are popular here.
