Bureau des Guides des Alpes du Sud (Pra Loup/Ubaye Valley)

An independent office for certified mountain guides in the Southern Alps, based in the Ubaye Valley and serving Pra Loup and Val d'Allos. They offer specialized guiding services for advanced activities such as high-altitude trekking, rock climbing, multi-day expeditions into the Mercantour National Park, and backcountry ski touring (ski de randonnée). Unlike ski schools, these guides focus on technical mountain craft and off-piste/off-trail exploration. Prices are typically per guide-day and depend on the activity and number of participants. Booking well in advance is essential.
