In summer, the Névache valley is a bevy of enchanting little lakes, mirrored by the proud walls of the sharp Cerces peaks, or the gentle rolling pastures of the Haute Vallée.
As you walk along, you'll discover a whole history in the making, from the charming summer pasture hamlets to the countless chapels dotting this serene landscape, like so many points of suspension, just to open up the dream. In this fairytale setting, life is everywhere: birdlife and wild mammals are just some of the unusual encounters, and for the sheer pleasure of the eyes, flowerbeds that will make you shiver with ecstasy. Sporty hikers, the "3000" of the Clarée await your visit: the Thabor (3178 m), the Pointe des Cerces (3073 m), the Tête de Castille (3069 m) or the Grande tempête (3002) are just some of the possibilities open to you.
You'll be spoilt for choice. Your guide will lead you to the irreducible charms of a nature synonymous with escape and pleasure. And right before your eyes, nature will be your masterpiece.
