We’re delighted to be welcoming Sarah, a freelance journalist writing for National Geographic Travel, who is here to discover the lesser-known Southern French Alps.
She’ll be spending the next few days exploring the region on foot, following Walkers' Britain & Europe walking tracks, experiencing some of the landscapes, trails and places that make the Southern French Alps so distinctive.
Yesterday was a gentle introduction in the Champsaur-Valgaudemar, with a warm-up walk to the Croix de Saint-Philippe: an easily accessible viewpoint at the gateway to Écrins National Park, with some pretty spectacular views for the effort!
