Le Lauzet-Ubaye, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Le ravin des Enfers strings 35 rappels through 560m of limestone relief, more rope work than almost anything else in the department, over an 8.5km shuttle approach.
Its own provision under the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence decree narrows the department's usual season: authorized 15 June to 30 November rather than the default 1 May start. No fee or registration, just the later opening date. The aquatic rating is low (a1) despite the rappel count, so this reads as a long dry descent rather than a wet one.
