Vallée de la Clarée, U-shaped valley between Névache and Val-des-Prés, France.
The Clarée Valley extends for 33 kilometers through the French Alps, featuring meadows and larch forests between 1400 and 2000 meters elevation.
The valley received protected status designation in 1992 following conservation efforts, preserving its natural landscapes and traditional agricultural practices.
Local communities in the valley maintain traditional practices of agriculture, forestry, and livestock raising while managing tourism impact on the environment.
During July and August, motor vehicle access becomes restricted, with public transportation available for reaching both Névache and Val-des-Prés municipalities.
The valley contains 39 percent of known French Alps plant species and spans 26,000 hectares alongside the Vallée Etroite, forming extensive hiking networks.
