L'Embrunnais is surrounded in the North by le Champsaur, in the West by le Gapençais, in the South by Haute-Provence Alps and in the East by le Pays du Guil and le Queyras. This area consists of a large part of Durance valley and high green traditional valleys. L'Embrunnais is one of the sunniest and dryest places in the Hautes-Alpes. The landscapes and the high altitude vegetation show perfectly such exceptional climate conditions. Embrun, the major town in the area, is called 'la Nice des Alpes'. This wide and historic place, around the city of Embrun, combines various activities. In summer, it's time for hiking in the mountain and watersports on Serre-Ponçon lake and Durance river. In winter, the 3 ski resorts (Les Orres, Réallon, Crévoux) are a paradise for gliding, hiking and relaxation lovers.
