Bras-d'Asse walks
Circular route from Bras d'Asse to Vieux Bras d'Asse
Short circular route leading to the old village, which is currently being restored by enthusiasts.
Some lovely views of the Asse and the Valensole plateau.
The summit of Agra from Saint-Jurs
This hike offers impressive panoramic views of Provence and the Southern Alps. In winter, you can enjoy magnificent views of the snow-covered Southern Alps. The small village of Saint-Jurs is pleasant. And then there's the view...
The Gorges de Trévans, via the Chapelle Saint-André
Magnificent gorges, especially in autumn. The climb up to the Chapelle Saint-André is a 2km round trip, but the view from the top is well worth the diversions.
You will pass through the remains of the hamlet of Valbonnette. A little further on, another detour of around a hundred metres, to see the ruins of a house, where a large round pillar has remained in its centre, still with the notches used to fix the wooden beams on two levels.
Trévans Gorges via the château
Very beautiful hike to do between April and October.
Beynes Mountain
A rich and varied route with a climb through the forest followed by a summit offering a magnificent panoramic view stretching from Montagne Sainte-Victoire to the Massif des Écrins, taking in all the foothills of the Digne Pre-Alps and Mont Ventoux.
Montdenier at the start of the Col de Saint Jurs
This is a superb hike, perfect for a family outing. It is not particularly difficult and offers breathtaking views of the Valensole plateau, the Verdon, Lake Sainte Croix, the Southern Alps, the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.
A Poil!
A journey to the end of the world, ideal for lovers of nature and tranquillity. And yet we are in the PACA region, in the heart of Haute-Provence, in a wild environment where you can discover the ancient village of Le Poil (in the 19th century, the commune had 350 inhabitants, including more than a hundred in the village).
The village of Poil starting from Chabrejas
A very beautiful, easy route through ancient lands in the wild lavender country.
Abandoned village of Lagremuse
This marked trail leads to the ruins of an abandoned village. From the site of the old castle and its chapel, there is a superb view of the Bléone valley.
Circuit in the hills above Moustiers Sainte Marie
Moustiers Sainte Marie is worth a visit, but the route through the hills is a remarkable way to enjoy this very pleasant plateau.
The Belvédère de Tréguier
Botanical trail leading to the Belvédère de Tréguier, with a magnificent view of the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Ravin d'Angouire at the end
On the trail of the Trail des Cathelières
This is a short loop, suitable for horse riding, which follows part of the Trail des Cathelières de Mallemoisson route. There is a quick alternative route to climb up to Vieil Aiglun and then return to the loop.
Valensole plateau on the Asse side
The Valensole plateau enjoys exceptional light and unique colours that shine particularly brightly in summer: fields of lavender, clary sage, wheat, olive trees and sunflowers against a backdrop of blue mountains attract many photographers.
Moderator's note: route modified on 21/06/2023 at points 4 to 6 to avoid Monroc, which is private property and off-limits despite thePR® sign.
Valensole Plateau and Ravin de la Combe
A peaceful hike on the Valensole plateau via the Ravin de la Combe. You can admire the magnificent lavender fields in season and pass by beehives, which you should leave alone, of course (if they have not been moved in the meantime). The hike is not complicated and is accessible to all, but please take into account the comments mentioned in the Practical Information section.
La Colette - Piégu around Mirabeau
A lovely, not too long walk with beautiful views of the Durance and Bléone valleys.
Very surprising viewpoints from the Col de l'Âne and Col de Plein Voir passes
A magnificent, varied and challenging circular offering superb views of the Gorges du Verdon, the Pont du Galetas and Lac de Sainte-Croix, accompanied by vultures, which are very present in the cliffs.
See practical information regarding difficulties and vertiginous passages.
Plein Voir viewpoint
This hike leads to a stunning viewpoint over the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Verdon Gorges.
The Sentier des Pénitents des Mées
The upper trail offers a completely different view from the valley. The Pénitents show their heads and draperies, which is almost more surprising than from below! And then there is a lovely view of the nearby Durance valley. The trail is easy, but there is often a drop on at least one side. Take care with children.
Secondary summit of Cousson via Entrages
Although not very high, the Cousson dominates the region because it is an isolated peak. This gentle walk will take you to the original St-Michel Chapel on its perch, then to the southern summit with its stunning view.
This walk offers excellent value for money in terms of the view/difficulty of the climb! Ideal for families.
Allow 3 to 3½ hours for the walk, no more. There are no surprises.
Towards Cousson from Entrages
A pleasant hike. Departure from the pretty village of Entrages. The chapel on its spur is a must-see. At the summit of Cousson, there is a beautiful 360° panorama.
The Grand Margès round trip
The climb up the Grand Margès is challenging. The round trip means you don't need two vehicles. At the summit, the panoramic view of the Lac de Sainte-Croix, the Issioule ridges, the Verdon Gorge and even the Alps is magnificent.
