Barcelonnette is a small Alpine town in the Ubaye Valley, in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Its old streets, squares and colourful houses make up a lively centre on a mountain-town scale. You can also see the Mexican villas, a testament to the history of residents who left to make their fortunes in Mexico before returning to the valley. The setting appeals to travellers looking to combine local heritage with outdoor activities.

The Barcelonnette Museum traces this history and offers insight into life in the valley. The Clock Tower and the Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-liens are in the old town, while the green spaces of Parc de la Sapinière offer a place to stroll. Mountain lovers can reach the resorts of Le Sauze and Pra Loup, or explore the landscapes of Mercantour National Park. The valley is also suited to cycling, hiking, paragliding and activities on the Ubaye, including rafting and kayaking. A bus station is close to the town centre.

In winter, skiing plays an important role in the region; the summer season draws hikers, cyclists and visitors looking to enjoy the rivers and mountain passes. You could start the day with a visit to the museum and the town-centre streets, then head out into the mountains or try an activity on the water. The valley’s mountain passes are particularly popular with cyclists, while the trails let you explore the terrain on foot. Barcelonnette is a place to discover the heritage and landscapes of the Ubaye throughout the seasons.
