A six-day hiking route connecting France and Italy begins in Larche, located in the eastern part of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. This accessible trail, reachable by public transport, winds around the border between the Ubaye valley in France and the Italian Piedmont region. The area, where Savoie, Provence, and Piedmont intersect, has been shaped by the influence of various kingdoms and states, leading to a mix of identities, dialects, and cultural traditions. French speakers are always available in the mountain shelters, and the hike can be shortened to four days by skipping days 3 and 4, though this is not recommended. Day 1 takes hikers from Larche to Col de Sautron and then to Rifugio Campo de Base, covering 12 kilometers with an elevation gain and loss of 1,100 meters each. Starting at Larche (1,697 m), the path includes a steep and dry ascent with views of the Mercantour mountain range and the green valley of Lauzanier. The Col de Sautron (2,685 m) evokes the world of The Lord of the Rings. On the descent, hikers pass through many barns on the Italian side and take a small path to Chiappera (1,661 m), a village with slate roofs and the impressive Croce Provenzale mountain behind it. The night is spent at Rifugio Campo de Base (1,642 m). Reservations can be made at campobaseacceglio.it, and contact details are [email protected] or +39 334 841 6041. The half-board cost is 62 €. Day 2 continues from Rifugio Campo de Base to Colle di Bellino and ends at Rifugio Melezè, a 14-kilometer trek with an elevation gain of 1,150 meters and a loss of 1,000 meters. Hikers enjoy the Italian sounds in this former military barracks turned refuge before ascending the valley lined with barns toward Colle di Bellino (2,804 m). A small bonus is taking a siesta at the summit (+150 m). In these valleys, the hiker often feels as if floating above the clouds when the fog rolls in. The night is spent at Rifugio Melezè (1,812 m). Reservations can be made by email or phone: [email protected], +393351357322, or +393281444923. The half-board cost is 60 €. Day 3 takes hikers from Rifugio Melezè to Colle de Bondormir and ends in Chianale, a 12-kilometer journey with an elevation gain of 1,300 meters and a loss of 1,350 meters. The hiker begins with a direct ascent. Two options are available to reach the Pontechianle valley: either descending and ascending along the torrente Varaita or taking a balcony path arriving from Chianale (1,800 m). The hiker enjoys the well-restored village and stays at Brigitte de Pra Mourel, tasting ice cream made from cow's milk at Marco's shop. Reservations can be made at +390175950127 or +393407257983.
