Ubaye — Upper classic (Jausiers / Barcelonnette to Le Martinet)

About

Classe II-III (III+). The family/intermediate run of the Ubaye valley from Jausiers past Barcelonnette to the raft bases at Le Martinet: clear, crystalline free-flowing water with read-and-run class II-III rapids and superb Chambeyron/Pain de Sucre scenery. A perfect step-up run before the racecourse below. The Ubaye is one of France's last big undammed rivers, so levels track snowmelt and weather directly. Season: April-July; free-flowing snowmelt river, best May-June Gauge reference: Vigicrues 'L'Ubaye à Barcelonnette' (station X043401001)
