The Briançonnais: An Exceptional Region in the Heart of the Alps

The Briançonnais, located in the Hautes-Alpes department, is an Alpine region renowned for the richness of its landscapes and heritage. Bordered by the Écrins National Park and close to the Italian border, the region captivates visitors with the diversity of its landscapes, ranging from unspoiled valleys to high mountain peaks, larch forests, and glacial rivers.

At the heart of this region, Serre Chevalier Vallée stretches from Briançon to Le Monêtier-les-Bains, connecting several mountain villages, each with its own distinct character. Renowned for its vast ski area in winter, the valley also offers a wide range of outdoor activities in warmer weather: hiking, mountain biking, whitewater sports, rock climbing, and paragliding.

The Briançonnais region also stands out for its rich heritage. The fortified city of Briançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the authentic villages, the thermal baths of Monêtier-les-Bains, and the high quality of life in the valley make it a sought-after destination, where nature, culture, and the mountain way of life come together in every season.
