View of Jausiers and the Ubaye Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this village, you can access the mythical Col de la Bonette-Restefond. It is the starting point for beautiful mountain bike trails in the surrounding mountains.

It is more precisely located between the upper and the middle valley of the Ubaye.

The town is at the foot of the rock of Chastel. Jausiers has a single pedestrian street where all the shops are concentrated.

The village also has the particularity of having a beautiful manor: the Château des Magnans.
