The Asco valley lies on the D147 then the D147A that leads to a small village, from which it descends to the river bed. You then need to continue on foot across the bridge. It is very easy to reach various places on the river, but one of the most beautiful swimming holes is located about 300 meters upstream of the bridge. There is one place where you can dive from about 3 meters high. To get there, go down the right side of the bridge.

⦁ Le haut-Asco: a mountain area with alpine landscapes and climates
⦁ The Ascu forest: forest of 5000 ha including 2 other black pine forests. Ideal to discover a surprising fauna and flora.
