Gliding, paragliding and hang gliding:
The area around Sisteron is an El Dorado for gliders,
hang gliders and paragliders. Airfields for gliders are at
your disposal at Vaumeilh (12 km) AEROCLUB
SISTERON, La Motte du Caire (15 km) LA
BATIE NEUVE, St. Auban(18 km), and Tallard (28 km), while

Climbing:
If you like to move vertically, you will find yourself in
a paradise here. Only a five-minute walk
from our house there is a climbing
area, where you can do short pitches (up to 2 rope-lengths
at
the lower level of difficulty) but also more difficult routes.
For amateur climbers the area above
our house is suitable with routes starting from the Grade
7. There are further excellent and
well-known climbing areas close by at Orpierre, Ribiers, and
the Verdon.

Other sports:
Of course, there are facilities for many other sports in
and around Sisteron, such as tennis, ball
games, horseback riding, and of course "boule".
