Vallée de la Clarée
The Haute Vallée de la Clarée is a wild and magnificent setting above the village of Névache, in the Cerces massif (Hautes-Alpes). It's particularly beautiful in autumn, when the larch forests take on shimmering colors and the first snow has already whitened the surrounding peaks.
With a few friends from my Photo Club, I was able to discover this splendid valley in the best possible conditions by taking part in a week-long photo course organized by Un Œil sur la Nature, with photographer guide Léo Gayola. An unforgettable experience.
