Landscape
Puy-Saint-Vincent is located on a north-facing plateau at an altitude of around 1,400 metres. The landscape features a rural mosaic of hamlets, cultivated terraces, meadows, irrigation channels and wooded grazing areas. The diverse habitats include deciduous and coniferous forests, heathlands, grasslands, scree slopes and rock faces. The Plateau de Tournoux is considered a preserved natural and landscape heritage site within Puy-Saint-Vincent.
The summit of Tête d'Amont is located nearby. The surrounding area also includes the summits of Pointe de l'Eyglière, Pointe du Rascrouset and Cime de la Condamine, as well as the Écrins National Park.
Winter and Sports
The Puy-Saint-Vincent bike park stretches across almost 900 metres of elevation and comprises eight trails served by two detachable six-seater chairlifts for mountain bikes. Le Panoramic features a synthetic ice rink and a bouldering wall.
The Sentier des Trolls at Station 1400 is free to access and suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Culture and History
The Chapelle Saint-Vincent is classified as a French historical monument. It has largely preserved and restored wall paintings; its painted interior is dated to the middle of the 15th century.
The Chapelle Saint-Romain was the village's first church and was built at the beginning of the 11th century. The 12th-century chapel was converted into a museum of old tools; an orientation board is located on the esplanade below the chapel.
The Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine des Prés is known for its sundials. Narreyroux is a former hamlet with alpine farming, where there is a hut used by the shepherd at the beginning and end of the summer grazing season.
The Fort de Mont-Dauphin, Fort Queyras and the Church of Saint-Michel are located in the wider regional surroundings of Puy-Saint-Vincent.
