Le Queyras Regional Park, the highest village in Europe Saint Veran, les Demoiselles coiffées (rock formation). Go over the famous Izoard pass and through the casse déserte (so this is what it could feel like to be on the moon !!).

Of course, you couldn’t miss a visit to the walled town of Briançon (UNESCO Heritage site), you could climb up to the ridges of Serre Chevalier by the cable car or make the most out of the natural hot baths at Monetier les Bains.
