Endowed with an exceptional beauty the Hautes Alpes has managed to keep clear of industry and large crowds. The atmosphere has stayed casual and convivial. There is an alpine feeling in this area due to its steep slopes and the abundance of mountain villages. Photo by Frits Meyst/Adventure4ever.com
