Golf
Swinging to the top
In the Hautes-Alpes, golf takes on a dimension that goes beyond sport. It’s a face-to-face encounter with the mountains, a breath of fresh air, a slap of beauty that grabs you at first sight. To play in the Hautes-Alpes is to accept that you are both a sportsman and a contemplative golfer, and to feel that every drive, every putt, every step on the fairway tells a story other than the score: a story of pure sky, eternal mountains and freedom.

de Gap-Bayard
At Gap-Bayard, the course rolls out its green carpet at an altitude of 1,250 meters. Eighteen holes carved out of the light, with the Écrins as a backdrop. In the morning, the dew clings to your shoes and the silence is almost religious. It’s a place of concentration, but above all it’s a place of vertigo: the sensation of hitting the ball with the feeling that the air is lighter, that the game breathes better here than anywhere else.
Golf
de Montgenèvre
Higher up, at Montgenèvre, it’s a different story: a Franco-Italian course, open to infinity at 1,850 m altitude. The fairways cling to the mountain pastures and the greens touch the peaks. You tap in, lift your head and suddenly the ball almost merges with the peaks. Here, emotion is not measured in strokes, but in moments. Montgenèvre is golf that defies altitudes, the game transformed into adventure, sport into a journey.
