Laid out in tiers on the lower foothills of the western Alps, the Hautes-Alpes link part of the former Dauphiné to the north of Provence. Between the high mountains (Barre des Ecrins 4,102 metres) and the smiling valleys, the Hautes-Alpes enjoy a sunny climate and an unrivalled light. 1,800 km of long distance hiking trails and 5,000 km of other footpaths cross the Ecrins National Park, the Queyras Regional Park and nine tourist regions (known as pays) with varied attractions.
