The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Mountain parking 8 km from Digne-les-Bains, valued starting point for mountain biking and hiking in the black badlands. Flat terrain with panoramic views. Access is very narrow and winding, requiring caution even for small vans. General condition concerning: abandoned car wrecks, fire remains, agricultural equipment. Unwelcoming atmosphere despite remarkable natural potential.
