Le Lauzet-Ubaye walks

Site classified by decree of 9 January 1939.Facing the Pas-de-la-Tour ravine, in the heart of a magnificent mountain environment, this natural curiosity is clearly visible from the road at the bottom of the valley. These waterfalls are a popular spot for panoramic views. They can also be explored from the village of Lauzet, along pleasant country trails.

The unfinished railway project at the beginning of the 20th century left behind some beautiful viaducts and tunnels that are ideal for an unusual hike. The return journey can be made via theGRP® Tour du Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This is an original hike that winds its way through hamlets and abandoned farms, ending in the inhabited hamlets of the commune of Lauzet. Finally, you cross the famous Roman bridge over the Ubaye Gorges.

A beautiful climb to the mountain pastures and the three lakes of Col Bas through a beautiful forest of larch and Swiss pine trees. IMPORTANT: This hike crosses an area with wetlands that are rich in biodiversity but very fragile and subject to three levels of protection (APPB, ENS, Natura 2000). It is therefore important to preserve them by refraining from crossing them, particularly between Lac du Milieu and Lac Noir, where you must take care to follow the marked trail. Reminder: it is forbidden to light fires, swim in the lakes or camp near the wetlands. Dogs must be kept on a leash. In addition, a chairlift from Montclar arrives at Lac Noir, bringing dozens of walkers to the immediate vicinity of the lake. If you like peace and quiet, it is advisable to avoid the days when this chairlift is in operation. You can find the opening days on the Montclar town hall website or on the "Montclar Domaine Skiable" website.

One of the heads of Louis XVI, still solid, however.

This lovely, easy walk will take you to a very alpine setting in just a few dozen minutes from the car park. The climb to Lac Noir is gentle and the scenery is very pleasant. You then reach Dormillouse at 2,505 metres, the highest point of the walk, after a steep but easy climb. There is a splendid view from the fort at the summit and the return journey is via the spectacular military path overlooking the Blanche valley.

This is a short walk, the main purpose of which is to admire the surrounding mountains, including the Tête de Louis XVI. The village's municipal bread oven, still used by the villagers, bears witness to a time when Rioclar was isolated from the valley.
