Location & what to see

Saint-Vincent-les-Forts is a mountain village in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the Ubaye area and above Lake Serre-Ponçon. The landscape alternates between wooded mountains, open slopes and views over the water. The village suits travellers who enjoy walks, scenic drives and outdoor activities rather than city breaks. The lake and mountains give the region a different character in each season, from summer swimming to high-altitude outings.

Fort Saint-Vincent, 680 m away, recalls the village's defensive position and makes for a walk nearby. Saint-Vincent Church is 760 m away. The Demoiselles Coiffées, rock formations sculpted by erosion, can be discovered on an excursion through the Serre-Ponçon landscape. The Costeplane Waterfalls offer another place to stop for a walk and enjoy the natural surroundings. Fort de Dormillouse and the Montclar area offer further outings, combining military heritage and mountain activities. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages, the lakeshore and the starting points of hiking trails.

In summer, you can alternate swimming and water sports on Serre-Ponçon with walks on the trails, choosing the cooler hours for walking. Spring and autumn are well suited to walks and visits to the villages, with temperatures often milder than in midsummer. In winter, the area around Montclar attracts snow sports enthusiasts; mountain roads then require driving suited to the conditions. You can combine a day by the lake with an exploration of the Ubaye mountains.
