Ancelle: Sommet de Chatégré - Route des Taillas

Ancelle sits in the Champsaur valley in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, where mountain pastures and larch woods lead toward the southern French Alps. This Hautes-Alpes commune stands near the Écrins massif in a region shaped by both farming and mountain recreation. Ancelle is known as a family-oriented ski resort, with terrain used for downhill and cross-country skiing in winter and for walking in the warmer months. Livestock grazing and haymaking remain part of the Champsaur’s regional identity, giving the settlement a working Alpine character beyond its seasonal tourism.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur occupies France’s southeastern Mediterranean coast and Alpine borderlands. Its terrain runs from the Rhône delta and the Camargue wetlands to the limestone coves of the Calanques and the high valleys of the French Alps, while the Côte d’Azur forms its celebrated shoreline. Marseille, France’s oldest city, is a major port, and Avignon’s Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century papal court. Inland, Provençal markets, olive cultivation and lavender-growing areas remain central to regional identity.
