Early in the morning, the dew droplets hang like diamonds from tall grasses.
Then, you smell the resinous scent of Scots pines warmed by the rising sun.
This area has a particularly dry climate. It is home to rare species that thrive
in arid conditions. Cooling off on the river banks makes for a refreshing
contrast all year round. Look up and feast your eyes on the Mont Froid and
Bramanette alpine pastures. Val d'Ambin is calling!
