The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Renovated parking at Col d'Allos summit (2,300 m) with stunning alpine panoramas. Ideal base for family-friendly hiking and wildlife watching (marmots, chamois). Level, stabilized ground. Strict access: max 7 m length, narrow winding road from Barcelonnette. Regular closures (Friday-Saturday mornings in summer for cyclists). Very quiet nights despite daytime tourist traffic. No on-site facilities, refuge nearby.

- Stunning panoramic view and unique altitude
- Starting point for varied and accessible hikes

Good to know
- Strict 7m length limit: no access for large vehicles

Motorhome access : Very restricted access: max vehicle length 7 m. Narrow, winding road with tricky intersections (especially near Barcelonnette). Stabilized, flat parking with good amenities. Maneuvering is tricky for wider vans.
