Demoiselles Coiffées

Highlight • Natural Monument

In English, they are called “hoodoos”, in French, they are poetically called “chimneys of fairies” or “demoiselles coiffées”.

These sedimentary rocks have stood the test of time thanks to the hard rock lying above. The result after centuries or even millennia of erosion: these enigmatic columns.

Blanche Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Near the Serre-Ponçon dam, you can enjoy this picturesque and dizzying road with almost no traffic to overlook the Blanche River.
Be careful on the road though, it is not uncommon for small landslides to occur and stones to be found in the middle of it.

Serre-Ponçon Dam

Highlight • Monument

The desire to establish a dam to tame the tumultuous waters of the Durance dates back to the 19th century. The creation of the lake marked the beginning of significant economic and tourism growth for the region. The site has quickly become an essential tourism destination in the Southern Alps. This work therefore makes Serre-Ponçon one of the largest artificial lakes in France and one of the largest earthen dams in Europe.

Lebraut Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A pleasant climb that offers a breathtaking view of the Lac de Serre-Ponçon below.

The climb is in two parts with a short one kilometer descent in the middle which reduces the average gradient. The climb is ten kilometers long with an average gradient of 5%.

Lake Serre-Ponçon

Highlight • Lake

The Serre-Ponçon lake was created in 1959 by the construction of a dam on the Durance. It is a pleasant vacation spot in the summer. Several roads go almost around it.

One of its most beautiful panoramas is on the small road that connects the village of Prunières to the lake.
