The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Remote high-altitude parking near Col de Serène (Vars), practically reserved for light vehicles. Access via rough 7 km track with stones and ruts, crossing a ford. No facilities. Exceptional mountain views, wildlife (marmots, sheep), hiking trailhead. Local tolerance is fragile and depends on respectful behaviour; gendarmes patrol the area.
Highlights

- Starting point for remarkable hikes
- Access tolerated (no formal ban to date)
Good to know
- Very difficult access: 7 km of rutted track with a ford to cross
