The Hautes-Alpes heritage application of the Pays des Écrins
Heritage just a click away!
Are you curious, passionate about history, or just out for a walk in the area? The Hautes-Alpes Heritage app is your best ally to (re)discover the Pays des Écrins in a different way. Free and available on the App Store and Play Store, it offers you a concentrate of useful and fun information to explore the rich heritage of the region.
On the menu? Geolocated tours, augmented reality tours, audio content, anecdotes, archive images… And even suggestions for places to eat or sleep after the tour. No more lengthy searches on three different apps: here, everything is centralized.
The interactive map shows you points of interest around you. A Romanesque church? A sundial? An old bread oven? Click, read, listen and learn. On-site flashcodes unlock exclusive content, and some tracks take you back in time with immersive reenactments. You can choose your level of exploration: quick and efficient or long and in-depth.
It’s also a great tool for families: children love the fun courses in digital treasure hunt mode. In short, it’s fun, instructive and very practical.
