From the Italian boarder to the Lake of Serre-Ponçon, along 80 km, the river Ubaye follows the valley increasing its flow, with from time to time wavy or quiet streams.
Try and master these wild waters safely, rafting, canoeing or swimming through them.
But the Ubaye River offers picturesque landscapes, welcoming riverbanks, quietness rocked by the sound of the water that constantly flows towards the cities which are so far from us.
