Very nice hike, varied landscape.
We parked at N3 to start the walk and climb in the morning.
Glaise is a very pretty little village with picnic tables and toilets, and everything is clean.

Highly recommended

An easy walk in terms of duration, though there are a few fairly steep slopes. A pleasant route, taking you through the village of Glaise and offering some lovely views from the ridge.

A nice little walk to stretch your legs or take a breather between two more challenging hikes. We didn’t see a soul along the entire circular route, which took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete, but we’re keen walkers. The path is varied and pleasant. There are some lovely views along the upper section of the route.

Hello Triton,

Sorry to hear about your mishap! This route is a PR trail; normally, access is permitted everywhere...

It started off well, though: cicadas between Veynes and Glaise, a quiet spot, a drinking fountain in Glaise from 1 April to 31 November, public toilets (always a bonus), a picnic table near the car park, four suggested walking routes (lasting between 2 and 4½ hours), informative signs near the trees, an old chapel further up, few people, plenty of butterflies.
A few details:
- the car park is not at the very entrance to the village, but 250m away (rest area indicated on the sign at the entrance)
- the car park is only big enough for about 4 cars
-for route 1, simply head back down to the village entrance sign; the path is indicated opposite by a sign for Les Pascaux, marked with signposts, EXCEPT THAT...
Except that after walking for ten minutes along the field on the left, you find yourself facing a net blocking both the field AND the path, with no way to get round it. Incomprehensible. A PR-marked path should allow free passage. Either it’s a public path or it’s private land—not both. Either the fixed net or the sign is superfluous. Either you agree to let people cross your land, or you don’t. We’d chosen this walk because the weather was uncertain elsewhere and we’d set off late; the alternative was to follow the road for 1.5 km in the blazing sun until we reached the 3 km mark, after having turned back. Whilst we could tolerate the few sections of road included in the route, this prospect put us off. Furthermore, one of the itineraries provided on site suggests heading down to Les Pascaux… via the road, not the path. So we decided to fall back on the shortest walk, a themed trail about trees, but at the trailhead signs, another warning about the presence of herds and sheepdogs. We didn’t want to add to our disappointment, so we left. A real shame. In future, I’ll avoid trying out walks without reviews.

Thanks anyway for the route suggestion. The hike can still be suitable with this adjustment for those who aren’t put off by the points mentioned above.
