Pra-Loup is a mountain resort in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in the Ubaye Valley. The village of Pra-Loup 1600 brings together accommodation, ski lift departures and services for winter sports. Its Alpine surroundings attract skiers during the cold season; in warmer weather, mountain trails, waterfalls and panoramic views take centre stage. The resort suits travellers who want to stay at altitude and plan their days around outdoor activities.

Several ski lifts are in the immediate area, including Costebelle, Sorbiers and Stade. The Espace Lumière ski area links Pra-Loup with La Foux d’Allos and offers slopes of varying levels. Walks lead into the surrounding mountains and towards nearby waterfalls, while Golf du Bois Chenu offers a different activity in summer. Barcelonnette, the main town in the valley, is known for its heritage and colourful façades. A car is useful for exploring the villages of the Ubaye and reaching nearby natural sites.

In winter, the slopes shape your stay: bring clothing suited to the altitude and alternate skiing with a break at the spa. In spring and summer, hiking trails let you take in the Alpine scenery and reach pools or waterfalls. You can combine a day out in the mountains with a visit to Barcelonnette. Autumn brings a quieter atmosphere, with changing colours on the hillsides. The changing seasons make Pra-Loup a mountain destination to explore on skis or on foot.
