Location & what to see
Saint-André-les-Alpes is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, between the mountains of the Haut-Verdon and the waters of Lake Castillon. The landscape alternates between mountains, valleys and developed lakeshores; outdoor activities shape a stay, from summer swimming to walks at altitude. The village suits travellers looking for an alpine setting and a mix of outings to the lake, trails and neighbouring villages.
Lake Castillon offers swimming and water sports, while Trou de Chalvet and the surrounding heights attract hikers and those seeking panoramic views. The Musée de la minoterie tells part of the local story. The Saint-André-les-Alpes market is a chance to discover local produce and the atmosphere of the village. Saint-André-les-Alpes railway station is 1.3 km away; Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 64 km away. A car makes it easier to explore the valleys and villages in the area.
In summer, days lend themselves to outings by the water, canoeing and hikes, with breaks in the surrounding villages. In spring and autumn, the trails and mountain scenery offer another way to explore the area, away from the summer heat. In winter, the Val d’Allos - le Seignus and La Foux-d’Allos ski resorts offer snow activities. You can combine a walk by the lake with a climb to the viewpoints in the surrounding area.
