Embrun is a multi sport mecca, from the watersports options to a multitude of mountain activities within the region. The old town's architecture and character has been preserved and its traffic-free streets are a great place to explore.

Embrun: lots of sun, pleasant temperatures, blue shutters for the windows and the nearby azure blue Lac de Serre-Ponçon. It is not for nothing that this town is called Petit Nice. Roll through the narrow streets, sit down on a terrace and imagine yourself in Provence.

Organizing town of the Embrunman, Embrun is an excellent starting point for many high mountain bike rides. The magnificent Serre Ponçon lake is only a few minutes away.
