Aspres-sur-Buëch walks

Located in the natural site of the Gorges d'Agnielles, the cliff trail winds its way along panoramic ledges accessible by stairs that cross rocky outcrops, offering magnificent views from two lookout points. Equipped with interpretive panels, this trail is accessible by a staircase suspended from the cliff and crosses the cave with five entrances. The trail is easy except for those who are apprehensive about steep paths.

A circular route that passes by a summit offering panoramic views of Buëch, Dévoluy, and Gapençais, all starting from a picturesque little village: a very promising itinerary.

Hike around Furmeyer, best done in May or June, but can be done in any season. This trail combines botany and landscapes.

Starting from the hamlet of La Bâtie-des-Fonds and the sources of the Drôme via cross-country paths, you reach an enchanting ridge. The route winds between Drôme and Hautes-Alpes, offering a 360° panorama with views of Le Duffre, Le Dévoluy and, in the distance, Le Vercors, Les Écrins and the Lure mountain.

A varied hike to discover the village of La Beaume from the heights, Haute-Beaume and the surrounding area. There are many attractions: an old hermitage (in ruins), the Beaume waterfall, and flora and fauna. Please note: this hike is not suitable for everyone, as the slopes are steep and the path is narrow and rugged in several places. It is reserved for fairly fit hikers. There is a steep climb early on.

This circular route, starting from the charming medieval town of Serres, accessible by train, gives pride of place to the ridges and peaks of the massif. Between the Hautes-Alpes and Drôme, each day offers spectacular views and aerial trails, without any major technical difficulties. Small Provençal villages, perfectly integrated into the landscape, punctuate this particularly wild and uncrowded route. Between lively and diverse forests, golden pastures, lavender fields and prominent limestone rocks, this part of the Baronnies, with its strong rural and mountainous character, offers exceptional panoramic views of the Southern Alps and the nearby Provençal peaks every day.

Set off in style on this revisited Tour des Baronnies. Throughout the morning, the narrow path winds along the ridges overlooking Serres, winding its way between beautiful rocks and twisted Scots pines. At Serre de la Bouisse, the view of the Baronnies and the Alpine peaks is breathtaking. Then, between the bucolic Col d'Arron and the finish, the path progresses delightfully, like a balcony, under the Montagne de l'Aup. Finally, the Praboyer lodge is located in the heart of nature.

Discover the historical heritage of Serres, with views of the Buëch valley.The trail winds its way up to the Fontarache ridge and descends in stages to the village.

From Vieux Serres under the Rocher de la Pignolette, via the Crêtes de Fontarache, the Rocher de Jardane and the Crêtes de la Bouisse: a beautiful hike through sharp limestone pavement and boxwood.

A short hike in Beauchêne through boxwood and beech woods under the Ranc de Mianoux towards the old Chartreuse de Durbon.

A short family hike in the Montmaur plain.

The climb to Pic de l'Aigle is steep, but the view over the plains of La Batie Monsaléon and Savournon, as well as the surrounding peaks, Rocher de Beaumont, Arambre and Grand Ferrand, etc., is well worth the effort.

From the resort, you will discover a vast 360° panorama of the Southern Alps and the whole of the Diois region, with a view of Mont Ventoux too. Best done in June for the exceptional flora.

Discover more than five kilometres of ridge offering breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding mountains. The route follows almost exclusively single-track trails winding through woods and meadows. From late May to late June, the trail is adorned with abundant, particularly pleasant and colourful flora.

This hike takes in four passes, Col des Tours, Col du Vallon de l'Aup, Col du Lauteret and Col de Plate Contier, and is characterised by the diversity of its landscapes and the beauty of its panoramic views. This is a ride with no major technical difficulties and a steady climb throughout, and is one of the most beautiful in the Bochaîne area. "A real favourite".

This is a beautiful hike to discover the southernmost ridges of the Diois region, culminating in the highest point of this landscape, the summit of Duffre. The panorama offers superb views of the Southern Alps and Dévoluy.

A beautiful, challenging loop! The trail passes through alpine pastures and beautifully flowered forests. The view from the summit is stunning, despite the modest altitude (1,686 m). Vaunières is a small village undergoing restoration thanks to young volunteers from all over the world.

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.

The Dévoluy massif offers a contrast of colours between the pure blue of the sky and the ochre of the rocks in its trilogy of peaks (Obiou, Grand Ferrand, Pic de Bure). Correction: the elevation gain is around 1,300 metres

1 November 2025: a user reports => this concerns the route between the wps (6), (7), and (8).Geoportal (Biotope protection decrees) (!) WARNING (!) This hike crosses the perimeter of the prefectural decree for the protection of the Plateau de Bure biotope, in which it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to leave the marked trails, under penalty of a 4th class fine of €750. For the time being, the agents of the French Office for Biodiversity, responsible for enforcing this decree, are taking a preventive approach, but they will surely soon move on to enforcement. Access to the Plateau de Bure off the beaten track. This alpine hike via the Pas de Paul offers an unusual and wild setting, through devolved steps, vertical corridors marked by large staircases. This variant allows you to reach the westernmost peaks of the Bure plateau, the Tête des Pras Arnaud and the Tête de la Cluse, before the Pic de Bure.

This is an easy hike with a spring halfway along the route. We set off from La Cluse (small car park at the edge of the village) and climb up to Tête de Garnesier, following aGR® trail for most of the hike.

A hike in the wild Abéou valley, at the gateway to the Dévoluy, dominated by the Tête and Roc de Garnesier peaks and the long ridge that runs from Haut Bouffet to Chauvet. The fun climb up the Torrent des Plates leads to the Rochers de la Baume, where you can discover a slab of ammonites. The descent is via the pastoral path, partly through the forest. A short detour allows you to make a round trip in the pleasant Leyvay canyon, which features several pools, ledges and waterfalls.

A route at the foot of Devoluy, which climbs up the Torrent de l'Abbéou, then joins the mountain pastures on the sunny side of Montagne de Lèche. The aim is to reach the Col de Corps, at the foot of Tête de Garnesier. This route is classified as difficult becausesome of the paths through the meadows are not easy to follow after the Fontaine des Ruisseaux, and then as you approach the pass, some sections of unstable terrain are quite steep.

A varied loop in the Baronnies Provençales, which runs through pretty gorges and then to a summit with beautiful panoramic views.

Family hike in the Toussière valley, now uninhabited but still bearing traces of the past with the ruins of a Templar commandery. During May and June, this is a pleasant hike to enjoy the mountain flora. View of the foothills of Oisans and Dévoluy.

A hike accessible to young and old alike, which leads to the foot of a beautiful waterfall... It is not uncommon to encounter marmots and sheep (accompanied by their shepherd and dogs). It is at its most beautiful in autumn or after heavy rain. It is possible to turn around and go the other way!

Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94. For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route. This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking. The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.

This loop takes you through the magnificent meadows and forests above Les Tatins. At this altitude, the land often quickly becomes overgrown, as it has been abandoned by farmers and livestock breeders. This is not the case here, however, and life goes on: hay is harvested, the woods are managed, houses are preserved and more modern ones are being built. The walk is easy. It reaches and then follows the line of the passes, which offer views of the opposite slopes, then descends through woods to the hamlet of Bois Noir. A charming paved road, between wetlands, meadows and abandoned lavender fields, leads back to the starting point of this mountain walk.
