Southern Alps

Ski Areas > Southern Alps

Far from the ski factories and autoroutes of the Savoie the Southern Alpes have retained much of their mountain charm.

The Hautes-Alpes are protected by the natural barrier of the Col du Lautaret to the north-west and the col de la Bonnette to the south and are probably the most inaccessible of the French resorts. Indeed access is easiest from Italy and Turin's international airport.

The Southern Alps includes the following departments:

• Alpes de Haute-Provence
• Alpes Maritimes
• Hautes-Alpes (part of)
• Vaucluse
