The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small layby at a hiking trailhead offering shade between two trees and views over Briançon valley. Located on Col du Granon road in a Natura 2000 protected area where camping is technically prohibited. Tolerance for short stops reported, but enforcement varies. Better suited for quick repairs than overnight stays.
Highlights
- Panoramic views of the valley and Serre Chevalier ski slopes
- Shaded space for safe repairs or work
- Close to hiking trailheads
Good to know
- Strictly protected area (Natura 2000): no camping allowed
- Inconsistent and arbitrary gendarmerie checks
- Next to a very busy road
Motorhome access : Direct road access. Limited parking. Small tight spot right by the road, best for quick stops or emergencies only.
