Buëch (rivière) walks

A magnificent walk, although the slopes are sometimes quite steep on both the ascent and descent. The landscapes and flora are remarkable.

Beautiful wild hike in the Jarjatte valley to Lac de Lauzon and the Col de Charnier for views to the south. Return via the Col des Aurias.

Starting from the legendary Jarjatte valley, this hike takes you to the rocky landscape of the Tête du Vallon Pierra via the Tête and Lac du Lauzon, nestled in its green setting, which is undergoing eutrophication. The landscapes criss-crossed by chamois and griffon vultures and the views are breathtaking. A small part of the route is off-trail, but on obvious terrain, and the only real difficulty is the elevation gain of over 1,000 metres.

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.

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.

A short hike that's perfect for exploring Sisteron from all angles! Passing by the cemetery, you'll find a quiet little path that leads to Route de Ribier. Head back towards Sisteron, then take the Sentier du Molard trail and return via the stunning Thor plateau. Walkers with dogs will be delighted.

Balcony hike on the transhumance mountain pastures at the bottom of the Jarjatte valley, cul-de-sac and sources of the Buëch. Beautiful panoramic views. Access: from Luz la Croix Haute, go to the end of the Jarjatte road.

A magnificent circular route around the Cirque du Fleyrard, passing by the Tête de Plate Longue and the highest peak in the Vercors Natural Park, the Rocher Rond, 2453m. From the Col de Charnier, the route is completely off-trail, with herds of chamois being the main encounters. A short 3c climbing section with a slight overhang, sharp ridges and exposed slopes on very steep scree justify the level of difficulty.

A medium-altitude hike, first on a cool, wooded north-facing slope, then on a south-facing slope through pastures.Please note that the Buëch ford may be impassable if the water is too high.

This hike is for those who:- want to walk 10 km at a good pace. It is a mostly flat trail, good for pacing. - are afraid of the sun and heat. It is 90% covered by dense vegetation. - enjoy peace and quiet. The area is much less frequented than the Baume mountain.This mountain is not named on maps. Here you will hike its entire length, along the north side and then along the ridge.

A short walk to discover the proudly standing keep of La Rochette.The route mainly follows tracks and paths, with the exception of the access to the second arch, which is via a sloping ledge requiring you to nimbly weave your way through a forest of box trees and climb up a rocky ledge with a few movements similar to rock climbing.

A circular route starting from Saint-Julien-en-Beauchêne, mainly on the GRP® Tour du Buëch Variant, around the small summit of Piarards which overlooks the Grand Buëch valley. After a gradual climb through the Durbon forest, the return route passes through the Col de la Bécha to descend to the hamlet of Baumugne, made famous by Jean Giono's novel "Un de Baumugnes".

A circular route starting from Saint-Julien-en-Beauchêne, following the GRP® Tour du Buëch and the GR®94 to the charming hamlet of Vaunières, passing through peaceful landscapes with beautiful mid-mountain panoramas. Be careful! As the path between Fontarasse and Chemin de Vaunières is closed, you will need to take the small tarmac road "Chemin de Vaunières" instead of the Fontarasse path.
