Between the Ubaye valley and the Mercantour peaks, Praloup offers an ideal playground for snowboarding. Renting a snowboard in Praloup allows you to take advantage of a varied, sunny area typical of the Southern Alps, with gentle slopes for beginners and more challenging routes for advanced riders. The panoramic views of the neighbouring peaks make you want to ride one more run, especially at sunrise when the lights turn the ridges pink.

As for the weather, winter here is often bright, with cold temperatures in the morning and milder ones in the afternoon. From January to March, the snow holds up well and mornings offer firm runs perfect for carving. After a fall, the powder slides into the larch forests, offering great protection on windy days. In spring, set off early to take advantage of snow that peels off gently around midday.
