Praloup 1500

Praloup 1500 is one of the altitude resorts within the commune of Uvernet-Fours, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, at the heart of the Parpaillon massif. This family-friendly resort, more intimate than its neighbour Pra-Loup 1600, enjoys the generous sunshine typical of this part of the Southern Alps, often described as a gateway to the Mercantour region. In winter, the ski area, linked to Pra-Loup 1600, offers a wide range of slopes suited to beginners and experienced skiers alike, with open views over the Ubaye valley and the Mercantour massif. In summer, the resort becomes an excellent base for hiking and mountain biking, two activities for which the region is well known, thanks to an extensive network of marked trails crossing alpine pastures and larch forests. The village retains a peaceful, authentic atmosphere, far removed from the bustle of larger Alpine resorts. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity of the Mercantour National Park and the opportunities to observe alpine wildlife. Praloup 1500 is therefore a popular choice for quiet stays combining unspoilt mountain scenery with outdoor pursuits, whatever the season.
