Pre-Alps Great Crossing (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes)

GTPA

Entrevaux is a fortified medieval village that bears witness to a rich historical past. The narrow streets, the stone houses, and the citadel overlooking the valley create a charming atmosphere. Digne-les-Bains is known for its thermal baths and its role in the history of lavender, while Sisteron is famous for its imposing citadel that watches over the Durance valley. Historical remains, ancient chapels, and local markets where olives and cheeses can be found, including the famous lavender, enrich the cultural landscape. The GTPA offers varied panoramas, ranging from lush valleys to steep ridges. Hikers traverse diverse landscapes, such as the Verdon gorges, limestone plateaus, and pine forests, showcasing the region's geological richness. The flora is particularly abundant, featuring endemic species like thyme, rosemary, and various flower types. Hikers may spot chamois, golden eagles, and a variety of migratory birds that inhabit the mountains.
