Departure from Barles (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
The Monges massif, a place to discover. A festive welcome from the marmots (with a bit of luck, one that lives in the old Chinese hut). A 360° view of all the massifs of the Alpes de Hautes Provence: Estrop, Cloches de Barles, Cheval Blanc.

Departure from Bayons (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A superb hike starting from Lac d’Esparron. The first part of the ascent winds through a dense and majestic forest, which is undoubtedly very pleasant for its coolness in summer. Upon reaching the edge of the Clapouse pastures, the landscape suddenly opens up to a magnificent panorama. The final part of the ascent takes place in open country, amidst a rugged, rocky landscape that feels almost timeless. At the summit of Costebelle, a breathtaking 360° view awaits you. Take a deep breath and treat your lungs to a real breath of fresh air.
