The Sasse

Highlight • River

Thanks to this little-used departmental road, you can follow this torrent in complete peace of mind. It takes its source at Lorsnet and flows into the Durance. The views in autumn are magnificent. As is the whole area.

The Col des Sagnes allows the passage between the Valleys of the Durance and the Grand Vallon. The road is almost deserted, the only noise we hear is that of the Sasse 🌊.
