Névache is a pretty little village located a stone's throw from the border with Italy. It is nestled at an altitude of 1,594 meters, which makes it the highest town in the Clarée valley. There is notably a bakery, a guesthouse, a few restaurants and several religious buildings.

Fontcouverte Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

This waterfall of the Clarée, which tumbles from the high peaks that close the valley of Névache, is just magical and regenerative. Absolutely wild beauty, which does not prevent you from playing rock jumpers and soaking yourself in the current, while letting yourself be carried away by the rumbling of the water, gazing into the distance on the peaks.

Nice ride. The light snowfall at high altitude tonight brought down the temperatures as well as allowing us to find a little snow at 2800m above sea level. Beautiful lakes. The Chemin de Ronde is beautiful and panoramic
