Hotels in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France

Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is a region in southeastern France, rising from lavender-covered plateaus to alpine peaks with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot summers (up to 86°F/30°C) and snowy winters (down to 23°F/-5°C). You can hike the turquoise Verdon Gorge in June, cycle through Plateau de Valensole's blooming lavender fields in July, or ski the slopes of Pra-Loup from December to March. For water sports, paddleboard on Lac de Sainte-Croix in summer, and in winter, explore Moustiers-Sainte-Marie's 12th-century pottery workshops without the crowds.
