OUTDOOR STAYS

The Provence Alpes Digne-les-Bains Tourist Office offers a range of all-inclusive outdoor sports stays, most of them designed as itinerant trips, including luggage transfers from one stage to the next and full-board accommodation (with packed lunches).

These 2- to 5-day packages can be enjoyed independently or accompanied by a guide, with flexible dates — meaning guests can choose to depart on any day of the year.

Hiking, mountain biking, gravel, road cycling, or trail-running stays can be savored solo, with family, or among friends — the choice is yours!

MARKING SIGNS TO FOLLOW

Trail-running routes are equipped with Trail-running markers. Each marker is stamped with the number(s) of the route to be followed and the color of difficulty (green - blue - red - black).

Trail-running markers are placed at regular intervals, at each change of direction. Between two Trail markers, follow the existing hiking markers (yellow, white/red, yellow/red).
