Did you know?
Planes are the champions… of CO₂ emissions! A short-haul flight, for example Geneva ↔ Barcelona, emits around 230 kg of CO₂ per passenger for a return trip. Trains, coaches and car-sharing emit far less for the same journey: compare them with the French environment agency (ADEME) simulator. What if your holiday began with the journey itself?
Getting here by car
By car
Our mountain roads are beautiful but winding: go by driving time rather than distance.
Driving times from the main cities
Approximate times, excluding traffic jams and winter conditions. Allos from Gap: about 1h45 via the Col d'Allos, open in summer.
Mountain roads and passes
In winter, snow equipment is compulsory on snow-covered roads and some passes are closed: check before following your GPS.
Electric vehicles
Fast charging points have been installed in the villages, from the sources to the Gorges du Verdon. They can be used with or without a subscription: see the charging points.
On arrival
Getting around: the last mile
From a station, an airport or a bus stop, several options to reach your accommodation.
Buses and shuttles, car hire, taxis, travel times between villages, parking: find all the options for getting around once you are in the Verdon.
