Art in the Mountains

Explore high-altitude villages that were abandoned a century ago, spend the night in an inhabitable sculpture by Andy Goldsworthy, hike breath-taking mountain trails, sit among erratic boulders to philosophise with herman de vries, identify Joan Fontcuberta’s chimaera among the genuine fossils, or delve poetically into botanical science with Paul-Armand Gette... These are just some of the many experiences you can enjoy with this hiking guide to the art trails in the mountains around Digne-les-Bains. Whether you are looking for an afternoon outing or a multi-day adventure, and whether you are a casual walker or an avid hiker, you’ll find the perfect route in this collection of art trails designed and produced by the Musée Gassendi for the territory of the Haute-Provence Geopark.
