Hautes-Alpes – alpine landscapes, mountain lakes and outdoor nature
The Hautes-Alpes department lies in southeastern France in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and forms part of the dramatic landscapes of the French Alps. The area is characterised by high mountain peaks, deep valleys, clear alpine lakes and protected natural areas.
A large part of the region is covered by the Écrins National Park. This impressive park features glaciers, alpine meadows and spectacular mountain scenery. It is a popular destination for hikers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
The town of Gap is the largest city in the department and a convenient base for exploring the surrounding mountains. Another highlight is Briançon, one of the highest towns in Europe, famous for its historic fortifications which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Campsites in the Hautes-Alpes are often located in scenic mountain valleys or close to lakes and rivers. The region is ideal for travellers who enjoy hiking, cycling, mountain landscapes and outdoor activities in the French Alps.
