Things to see and do
- The upper town of Briançon, surrounded by its UNESCO-listed Vauban ramparts, is one of the most beautiful fortified cities in France. Its sloping lanes, fountains, collegiate church and Grande Gargouille, the gently sloping cobbled main street, are best discovered on foot at a leisurely pace.
- The Serre Chevalier ski area, one of the largest in France with over 250 km of runs, is accessible from Briançon in just a few minutes. It welcomes beginners and experienced skiers alike in a grandiose Alpine landscape, with views over the Écrins park summits.
- The Écrins national park, on the doorstep of Briançon, is one of the largest protected natural areas in France. Its peaks rising above 4,000 metres, glaciers, mountain lakes and long-distance hiking trails make it a top destination for mountain lovers.
- The Col de Montgenèvre, at 1,860 metres altitude and just 12 km from Briançon, is one of the oldest Alpine passes. It marks the border with Italy and gives access to the Via Lattea, a vast cross-border ski area shared with Sestrières and Clavière.
- The Fort des Têtes and the Vauban works surrounding Briançon form an exceptional 18th-century defensive ensemble. Guided tours reveal Vauban's military genius and offer panoramic views from the bastions.
