A hike in the hills above Gap offering exceptional panoramic views. Montagne de Ceüze, Massif de Bure, Dévoluy, Écrins, Embrunais, Blanche, Monges... A rollercoaster ride along the ridge. Flowers and mushrooms abound! A tricky section between (3) and (4).

A circular route leading to the ridges of La Greysinière with exposed sections, but offering exceptional views of the Ceüze, Bure, Dévoluy, Écrins, Embrunais, Blanche and Monges mountains. Starting at Col de Gleize helps to minimise the elevation gain.

This is the ascent to the Brèche de Charance with the least elevation gain (less than 300 m), allowing you to enjoy the views via the Col de Guizière, then the Col de Gleize, whilst walking mainly through woodland. An ideal route for the summer months.

Climb up to the Brèche de Charance to enjoy the panoramic view from the ridge to the Col de Guizière, then descend through the forest. An ideal route for the summer months, just above the town of Gap.

A circular route leading to the Guizière ridges whilst avoiding the overly exposed sections of the Greysinière ridges.Starting at the Col de Gleize keeps the elevation gain to a minimum, whilst offering exceptional views of the Ceüze, Bure, Dévoluy, Écrins, Embrunais, Ubaye (Montagne de la Blanche) and Monges mountain ranges.

Climb up to the breach to enjoy the view from the ridges of the Charance mountain (including the Col and Tête de Guizière), before descending via the Col de la Côte Gelée. Although most of the climb is through forest, the ridges and descent are more exposed to the sun.
