04400 Barcelonnette
From the Ubaye to the Durance.

Set off from Barcelonnette and enjoy a gentle cycle to Saint-Paul. You then reach the most difficult part of the route: the approach to the Col de Vars mountain pass.
The road from Vars to lake Serre-Ponçon offers magnificent panoramic views for those who play with their brakes during the 32 km of this vertiginous descent.

Passing by Embrun cathedral and the delightfully sixties village of Savines.

The return journey, via the balconies of Serre-Ponçon, between Savines and Sauze-du-Lac, offers a multitude of viewpoints.

The ascent of the Ubaye is also remarkable.
