This beautiful alpine walk will take you through a beautiful, uncrowded valley, along a path that is sometimes steep. Cliffs, torrents, waterfalls, and perhaps the chance to see a mountain goat.

A superb hike in the Mercantour National Park, with a beautiful ridge leading to a summit over 3,000 metres high. Le Cimet, neighbouring Le Pelat and about thirty metres lower, offers a magnificent panorama on a clear day. The hike starts from the Vieux Brec bridge on the Col de la Cayolle road.

A very accessible 3,000-metre peak with magnificent views of Lac d'Allos and a 360° panorama. The hike is superb, with lakes, marmots and chamois along the route.

A lovely walk, best done when the larch trees turn yellow and ochre. It is very varied with a well-marked path and presents no major difficulty. The only slightly tricky section is the crossing of the Riou de la Saume, a small log bridge without a railing.

A beautiful hike in a wild environment, with no technical difficulties despite 50% of the route being off-trail. Orientation is not a problem either, despite the few cairns along the route; just follow the contours of the terrain and the streams at the edge of the meadows.The Visorando app may be useful.

This enigmatic title serves as a reminder that the Gorges du Bachelard’s notable features are given colourful names. This walk, where the ascent is tackled straight away (with a sometimes steep gradient and a path washed away in places), takes you to Baume Longe, then on to the Col de Cloche. After the Col de Cloche, there are beautiful views of the Cimet peaks opposite the valley as you cross through mountain pastures. The stretch near the Chapeau de Gendarme rocks remains truly stunning.

A lovely walk starting from Villard d’Abas, which begins in a light, open deciduous forest, leading to the old hamlet of Cloche, before changing sides of the mountain (once again through a beautiful larch forest) to reach Baume Longe. The descent is also through the forest, along the mountainside. It’s a bit more treacherous, so you’ll need sure-footedness!Please note => check the route description on WP (7) before starting the descent.
