Baratier walks

A lovely little walk, almost entirely flat, which will take you from the shores of Lake Serre-Ponçon to the foot of the Embrun cliff. Views of the lake and the gardens and orchards at the foot of the cliff.

Embrun is a town located in the heart of the Durance Valley. Rich in history, it is located not far from Lake Serre-Ponçon. There is a small lake next to it. Walking around it is a pleasant stroll, with views of the surrounding mountains, including Pic de Morgon and Mont Guillaume. It is a walk that can be enjoyed with young children.

A very pleasant walk in a beautiful forest, enjoying the shade in summer or the beautiful autumn colours.

Another way to discover Embrun. Walk on the rock from the viewpoint, then under the rock with its gardens and canals, a short detour to discover the Durance before completing the circular route in Embrun via the cathedral, the Maison des Chanonges, and the Tour Brune.

A family hike to discover the historical and military past of Le Roc, on which the town of Embrun was built. Bring your binoculars.

A lovely loop walk, fairly well shaded, but still offering numerous views along most of the route. The view from the summit is remarkable.

This large forest between Lake Serre-Ponçon and the long ridge that ends at Pic de Morgon offers dozens of trails to explore. Here is one that runs close to the lake and takes you through tiny hamlets nestled in the forest.

The summit of Le Méale offers a beautiful view of Embrunnais, Parpaillon and Serre-Ponçon. Most of the route is through forest on a beautiful trail. What's more, it can be done from May to mid-November.
