Family Walks Whether you require flat, short or shady or just a wide smooth path for little feet, the Ubaye has the exact requirements. Getting out into the meadows and crags gives opportunities to see all sorts of things that are harder to find at home. Wildflowers, birds and butterflies are everywhere and on certain walks the marmots show little fear of passersby and are happy to continue about their business despite the audience.

Most of the well-known walking areas provide good car parking and there are often picnic tables within a short walk of the car. The Valley boasts a number of trails specifically designed with children in mind, including numerical waymarkers and panels showing points of interest.

Walking in the Alps doesn’t have to mean equipping crampons and ice axes! The Ubaye Valley has numerous footpaths that are perfect for family strolls.

InHiking Ubaye The Ubaye Valley offers almost unlimited opportunites for hiking, more than 600 kilometres of way-marked footpaths are at your disposal, all clearly signposted and well-maintained. The variety of hikes is neverending - craggy peaks, rolling meadows, thundering waterfalls and crystal clear lakes. The scenery is breathtaking, in late spring and early summer the meadows are carpeted with wildflowers such as orchids, anenomes and gentians. As summer gives way to autumn the vernal hues contrasting with the clear blue sky are a photographer’s dream.

Wildlife lovers and birdwatchers will not be disappointed, most of the higher altitude walks provide plentiful opportunites to see marmots, chamois and ibex, and large raptors such as eagles and vultures are frequently soaring overhead. In addition to all the local footpaths, numerous national GR (Grande Randonnée) routes also cross the Valley and there are a great number of refuges, both staffed and unstaffed, where one can get a meal or spend the night. If you feel like trying something adventurous why not hire the services of an experienced mountain guide and tackle one of the famous local peaks such as the Pain de Sucre or the Brec du Chambeyron. 0 8 / U B AY E VA L L E Y

In Cycling Ubaye The Ubaye Valley is THE Mecca for cyclists in the Southern French Alps. Amongst the 7 mountain passes to cycle is “La Bonette”, located at the summit of the highest road in Europe. It gives you the impression of being at the top of the world. It’s an unforgettable experience! In 2008, it was part of the route for the “Tour de France”. All cycling routes are clearly marked with

!

milestones indicating road number, altitude, remaining distance and the road gradient. The roads are in excellent condition and are regularly maintained. Cycling routes are easily accessible from the Ubaye Valley and no driving is required... just leave your hotel or holiday home on your bike and go! One of the great things about the Ubaye is that whatever distance you choose to cycle, you will be mesmerized by the ever-changing scenery. Impress family and friends by bringing home a special souvenir: “Brevet des 7 Cols” an award certificate for having completed the 7 passes.

Mountain Biking Like road biking, mountain biking is one of the most popular pastimes in the Ubaye Valley. The “TransUbayenne” is one of 19 mountain bike trails that cover over 100 km created and waymarked by

the

Federation

Française

de

Cyclisme in collaboration with local authorities. The consistent trail markers will easily lead you through the entire Valley taking you through wooded terrain, alpine fields, tunnels, villages where there is the possibility of cozy overnight lodgings. Experience a cross-country adventure on trails that are in excellent condition and regularly maintained.

For thrillseekers, downhill racing is also at its best in the Ubaye. Host of the UCI Masters Mountain Bike World Championships, the mountain resort Pra Loup is used to creating exhilarating downhill sensations. You can take the cable car to the top of the mountain and race back down. Come and check out the “Bike Park” and have fun testing your mountain bike skills in a forest setting that includes monkey bridges, swinging bridges and other obstacles. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced itineraries so any level of biker can give it a go!

Water Sports The Ubaye River is one of the most stunning rivers in Europe and is well-known for its awesome rafting and whitewater sports. Being without a dam, the river is in full force year round sporting 60 rapids of classes of I to VI over a distance of 52 kilometres. Whichever you choose: rafting, canoeing, kayaking, canyoning, or hydrospeeding, you can definitely be assured of a total adrenalin rush! Take advantage of the certified local whitewater guides who can navigate you on this breathtaking excursion.

After a day of invigorating whitewater sports, relax and take it easy at the many riverside campsites found along the course.

The Ubaye Valley gets its name from the Ubaye River whose source is at the Longet Lake located on the French/ Italian border and flows east to west ending at the Serre-Poncon Lake.

All of this in an outdoor setting, close to nature and far from the hustle and bustle of city life. A breath of fresh air for the whole family!

Heritage In Barcelonnette, and throughout the Valley, are numerous grand Mexican-style villas, some of which are now museums and hotels. These were built by locals who went to Mexico in the late 19th century and returned to the Ubaye having made their fortunes. The Valley has six museums, each one focused on a particular aspect of Ubayen life. There is also the recently opened ‘Maison du bois’ which combines games, interactive exhibitions about the wood industry and a children’s playground, with demonstrations and walks.

The Ubaye Valley has a rich and varied heritage, providing a variety of interesting sites to visit. Being a frontier valley, the Ubaye has seen many invasions and conflicts over the years and consequently boasts some impressive fortifications, beautifully preserved works from the

Entertainment Restaurants and bars abound, even the smallest mountain villages usually have a sunny terrace where you can enjoy a refreshing beer. Barcelonnette and Jausiers boast several accredited restaurants and the variety of eateries is impressive - from local speciality restaurants serving dishes such as fondue and raclette to Mexican, Vietnamese and Italian. The mountain resorts are also open for the summer season and often host sporting events, dances and firework shows. The resorts are also home to a good variety of bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

The Ubaye Valley is now ready for its first golfers. The newly built 9-hole course is in a beautiful riverside setting, midway between Barcelonnette and Uvernet-Fours.

Throughout the summer, Barcelonnette is a vibrant little town, hosting a variety of festivals and themed events: Jazz, Latino and classical music all have a slot in the summer calendar.

InShopping Ubaye Barcelonnette has a good range of shops providing plentiful holiday souvenirs from cuddly marmots to charming French country crockery and homewares.

Jausiers is home to ‘la Maison des Produits de Pays’, a special showroom where local producers and craftsmen bring their goods to sell. The store sells everything from local spirits and cheeses to watercolours and woollen scarves.

No trip to France would be complete without browsing around a traditional market and the Ubaye Valley has plenty of those. Barcelonnette has a twice weekly market selling local produce, crafts and other goods. There are also farmer’s markets in several of the other villages and numerous fairs and agricultural shows during the summer season.
