GR®5C

From Nevache to Briançon (Hautes-Alpes)

The GR®5C trail connects the unspoiled upper Clarée Valley to the historic town of Briançon, traversing the high mountain ranges of the Hautes-Alpes. The landscape is that of a high mountain range, alternating between alpine pastures, steep mountain passes, and vast forests of larch and Swiss pine, emblematic of alpine flora. Wildlife abounds, and hikers can observe eagles in flight or marmots and chamois in the highest areas. The history and heritage of this route culminate in Briançon, whose Vauban fortifications, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bear witness to its strategic military role. The starting point, Névache, represents authentic rural heritage, with its traditional hamlets and still vibrant pastoral life, making this section a complete immersion in alpine identity.
