Sestrières Wood and Torrent du Vallon, starting from Montgenèvre
A walk through a beautiful, open forest canopy dominated by larch trees, which grow alongside a few deciduous trees such as oaks, alders and birches. Higher up, the forest features other conifers, including various species of pine and fir, where the bird cherry grows. The path is lined with beautiful flowering willowherbs and coltsfoot. From the Bois des Bans, there is a stunning view over the Clarée valley. This walk is classified as difficult as there are a few sections with steep, challenging gradients.
Le Brousset and the Durance Valley
A very beautiful, easy walk through the larch forest. It runs alongside the Bois du Prarial before taking a lovely path (Le Brousset) which offers magnificent panoramic views of Mont Chaberton and the summit of La Loubatière. You then head towards the headwaters of the Durance, which converge in a beautiful glacial cirque dominated by the Sommet de Château Jouan and the Janus military fortification. The walk ends as you follow the river along its left bank.
