The resort
Laye sits in the Hautes-Alpes a short distance north of Gap, on the slopes leading up to the Col Bayard. The historic Route Napoléon passes through on its way over the pass toward the Champsaur and Grenoble, and on the map it appears as the main line crossing the commune, with smaller lanes branching off toward farms and hamlets.
The village is home to a small ski station, one of the closest to Gap, used mostly by local families and beginners. Its short runs and modest lifts make only a small mark on the landscape, surrounded by meadow, forest and the open ground around the pass. The whole commune covers about eleven square kilometres, so the map stays close and readable.
A Laye map poster is less about grandeur than about a familiar route: the road winding up from the city, a village on the slope, a few ski runs cut into the hillside. For people from Gap and the Champsaur who learned to ski here, or who cross the pass often, it is a very personal piece of geography.

The small ski area sits close to the village, its short runs and lifts drawn as a few light strokes against the surrounding meadow and woodland.
Northward the terrain rises toward the Col Bayard, where the road crosses between the Gap basin and the Champsaur valley that opens out beyond it.

Why Laye
Laye is the kind of place people know from childhood rather than from brochures: the nearby slope for a Sunday afternoon, the pass on the way to family. A clean map of it makes a quietly meaningful gift for anyone rooted in the southern Alps.
Change the title, subtitle and coordinates line to suit, perhaps with a name and a year, and choose one of five styles. Start with a free 900 px preview, then take the high-resolution files for $9 or a printed poster with an optional wooden frame.
