Culture and sights

The Clarée valley and the Étroite valley, which is partly in Italy, are classified as site classé ('Natural Monument'), and the area is classified as particularly important by the Natura 2000 network . The area has an area of 25,000 hectares and forms a bioclimatic crossing point between three different mountain ranges in the Alps. It has more than a thousand species of plants . Biodiversity is endangered by the fact that agriculture and especially the mowing is becoming less important. In some places there is overgrazing by sheep, in other places too many larches grow . Another problem is tourism.
Névache is a stage on the “red trail” of the Via Alpina long-distance hiking trail . In the hamlets of Sallé and Ville Basse, former farms from the 19th century serve as gîte d'étape ('accommodation for stages').
Névache is represented with two flowers in the Conseil national des villes et villages fleuris ('National Council of Flowered Cities and Villages'). The "flowers" are awarded in the course of a regional competition, whereby a maximum of three flowers can be achieved.
