The ESPACE LUMIERE linking the Foux d'Allos and Pra-Loup skiing areas has created one of the largest skiing areas in the Southern Alps, providing 160 km of pistes for the enjoyment of experienced and athletic skiers.
Summer
In summer you have a fabulous choice of activities to plan your holiday. "Paradis des enfants" is a leisure park installed in a beautiful environment of greenery and proposes a multitude of activities and facilities: games, pedal-boats, canoes, archery, climbing, trampoline, mini-golf, golf driving range, giant chess board, tennis, in addition to a 15,000 m2 man-made lake with water slide for bathing and fun, for young and old!
You will be able to take advantage of more than 1,000 km of trails in the Val d'Allos that have been waymarked. Both experienced and less experienced walkers will find an outing to suit them, and it will enable you to discover the magnificent landscapes and natural setting that surround Allos. In certain places there are viewpoints of the Pelat massif and the Mercantour National Park that are unique.
The hike to Allos lake is a beautiful excursion: follow the D226 from Allos for 13 km, use the car park located at the terminus. Allow for approximately 1 hour for a leisurely walk to the lake, along a trail of discovery of landscapes and plant life. At the lake, you will not be disappointed by the grandiose sight of this mass of azure blue water nestling in the shade of a cirque whose naked peaks tower over a green carpet of flowers, larches and firs.
Experienced walkers (with the right footwear) will be able to go on to Mont Pelat (3,050 m) to enjoy the breathtaking panorama from this height and loop round from there to the Petite Cayolle pass and to the Pas du Lausson (allow for approximately 6 hours of walking with an altitude difference of 620m).
