At the edge of the Southern French Alps, at about 1,200 metres altitude, you’ll find Lou Passavous. This cosy, family-friendly campsite is surrounded by green meadows, forests and beautiful mountain scenery. Here you can enjoy peace, nature and the sunny climate of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, with the charming village of Le Vernet just a short walk away. It’s the perfect place to truly experience outdoor life – hiking through the mountains, relaxing in the sun and soaking up the laid-back French atmosphere.
What to do on the campsite?
At Lou Passavous, everything revolves around relaxation, being outdoors, and enjoying time together. Start your day with fresh bread and a cup of coffee in the morning sun, while taking in the mountain views. Children can have fun in the playground, on the football field, or with a game of table tennis while you unwind.
On warm days, take a refreshing dip in the on-site pool or walk to the nearby heated municipal pool, available to campers for a small fee.
Active holidaymakers will also find plenty to enjoy. Several hiking trails start right from the campsite, leading through forests and mountains. The owners regularly organise guided mountain walks for those seeking a bit more adventure. After an active or relaxing day, sit down for a meal at the cosy on-site restaurant, or pick up a delicious pizza or snack during the high season. As the sun sets behind the mountains, relax and enjoy a tasty dinner to end the day.
