GR®56
The Ubaye Valley Tour (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes)
|
|
The GR®56, stretching approximately 158 kilometers, begins in the charming village of Méolans-Revel. Hikers will have the opportunity to discover natural sites such as the Mercantour National Park, where alpine fauna and flora thrive in a protected environment. The trail crosses renowned passes like the Col d’Allos and the Col de la Cayolle, and skirts majestic lakes such as Lac d’Allos, the largest natural high-altitude lake in Europe.
Beyond its natural beauty, the GR®56 offers a journey through the rich history of the Ubaye Valley. Along the way, hikers can visit historic sites like Laverq Abbey, a 12th-century priory, and the valley’s military fortifications, including Fort de Tournoux. These monuments bear witness to the region’s strategic past, adding an enriching cultural dimension to the hike.
