Moderate
Departure from Faucon-de-Barcelonnette (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A walk in the hills above Faucon-de-Barcelonnette offering views of the valley’s peaks: Grande Séolane, Chapeau de Gendarme, Croix de l’Alpe...
The walk is mainly along a small tarmac road. A footpath allows you to shorten the road sections. We walked after snowfall and chose to be cautious, i.e. we took the road. The snow made the landscape even more beautiful.

Departure from Jausiers (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
This hike offers beautiful views of Jausiers and the iconic peaks of the Ubaye Valley (Chapeau de Gendarme, Massif des Séolanes).
This hike is not particularly difficult, despite a few steep ascents and descents and some exposed sections. (see practical information section)
Much of the hike takes place in the forest. You will also cross former agricultural areas. You will pass in front of the Château des Magnans, an architectural curiosity in Jausiers.
Beware of rockfalls and a tricky passage between (4) and (:5). Read the reviews for an alternative route.
