Remollon.

A mountain wine village above the Durance valley in the Hautes-Alpes.

Wine TastingHiking

Remollon sits on a hillside above the Durance valley, in the Hautes-Alpes department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The village looks out over steep slopes and open farmland, with the higher ridges of the southern Alps visible beyond. Vineyards grow on the slopes around the village, producing wine at altitude, part of a small but established tradition in this corner of the Hautes-Alpes. Stone houses line the narrow streets that climb toward the old village core. Small chapels and farm buildings mark the edges of the settlement, spaced out across steep paths and long sightlines. Trails lead out from Remollon through pasture and pine woods, linking it to hamlets scattered across the slope. The rhythm of the place follows the vines and the seasons: work in the vineyards through spring and summer, harvest in autumn, and snow settling in winter. Remollon keeps the feel of a working Alpine village, shaped by its wine and its terrain.
