Departure from Saint-Crépin (Hautes-Alpes)
A long hike around the Merdanel torrent with its ‘demoiselles coiffées’ (rock formations), high-altitude forests and vast mountain pastures, returning via a beautiful marked path – not always shown on the map – before fording the torrent.
Warning! This walk should not be undertaken after a period of heavy rain (thunderstorms): crossing the Merdanel may prove difficult.

Very difficult
Departure from Arvieux (Hautes-Alpes)
Instead of taking the ‘classic’ ascent via the forest road, opt for a route that climbs more steeply and features much more technical single-track sections – this will give you a good warm-up for the descent towards Les Granges de Furfande, then on to Le Queyron and finally back to Arvieux. I’ve only described the ascent route here. For the descent, use the Col de Furfande route guide , described by morgiou13, available at (2). Given the difficulty of the climb (steep sections and tight, steep hairpin bends), this route is best suited to e-MTBs.
