A beautiful snowshoe hike (or walk in summer) even in heavy snowfall, in a magnificent setting, with the first part in the forest and the second in the mountain pastures.

La Petite Céüse, a summit well known to walkers, takes on a whole new dimension when approached from the hamlet of Les Combes, with some unusual sections.

This hike has two contrasting sections: the start and the end take place on trails and pastoral tracks, which lend themselves to daydreaming. Crossing the ridges becomes technical (without major difficulties) as you approach the summit of Jalinier, with no real path but a passage open in the vegetation and the rocky ridge of the summit. With an unexpected exit to pass the summit bastion. See practical information regarding the final section of the Jalinier summit.

Very pretty summit with a 360° view. From Mont Ventoux to the Écrins and from Dévoluy to the Monges massif. The route is varied, with very little tarmac, forest tracks and trails. The climb is very pleasant among the oak and box trees.

A unique circular hike around the Ranc de Mianou via its southern slope and a trail not shown on IGN maps. What's more, it offers magnificent views and landscapes throughout the route, from the long ridge between La Penne to the westernmost point of Ranc de Mianoux. The entire route is covered in a circular manner.

A lovely way to explore three calanques with a variety of completely different landscapes, ranging from heath to sheer rock faces. You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to specific regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine of up to €1,500.

Seen from the outskirts of the village of Les Gourniers, climbing this perfect pyramid is a dream come true; all the more so because of the slope facing us; it seems impossible, and yet it’s doable!

An original way to reach the western shoulder of the Aiguille de Cédéra via a forgotten path on part of the ascent, then climb up the suspended mountain pasture to finish on the south-west ridge. The summit is optional for those who enjoy traversing scree slopes.

A snowshoe hike over varied terrain, starting in the Pré Matheron meadow, followed by a route through the undergrowth where you create your own path by weaving through the forest until you reach the junction with the ridge line. There, the landscape opens up towards the south.

This is a half-day hike, either on foot or with snowshoes. Almost the entire route is through forest with clearings to enjoy the scenery and finish the climb to the Pertuis, which can be visited with a good torch. The return is via another pleasant path.

A lovely walk through mountain pastures and along the ridge, from where you can admire the whole southern part of the Écrins Massif and much more besides.

A lovely circular walk through the woodland to explore the rocky outcrops and, at the same time, a brief visit to the Villard Dolmen, with access to the outcrops via an ancient path long since forgotten.

A very pleasant circular route along paths and trails with magnificent views of Lake Serre-Ponçon, the summit of the Pic de Morgon overlooking the walk, and the entire ridge line as far as the Tête de la Vieille.

A pleasant short hike, with the second part along the ridges above the ravines making for an enjoyable route.

There is a lovely view of the Remollon plain during the climb, followed by a wild descent after the Saint-Pierre Chapel.

Visit the tunnel dug between 1913 and 1933 to search for water, overlooking the Gillardes resurgence – with spectacular scenery all along the walk!
