About La Foux D'Allos
La Foux d'Allos is the ski station of Allos, a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence whose land climbs from 1,339 to 3,040 metres, on the edge of the Mercantour National Park. It is a purpose-built resort, not an old village, and parts of it date from the mid-1980s, with corrugated iron roofs. Homes are grouped together inside the resort rather than spread down the valley. They are mostly compact, sleeping around six at the middle, with one bedroom and few gardens. The linked Pra-Loup side of the ski area reaches 2,500 metres. Barcelonnette, about 12 km north of Allos village, is a ski and tourist town where emigrants who came back from Mexico built colonial-style houses. Check what is open before an off-season visit.
Is La Foux D'Allos right for you?
- Best for
- Skiers and summer walkers wanting a small high-mountain base
- Not for you if
- You are picturing lavender and vineyards, because the Provence label here means mountains, not countryside.
