Tourneau circular loop
End of June 2025: A few changes!!! The GR® route between Le Barry and La Bergerie is currently being modified… it’s “more or less” marked out, on the right bank of the (dry) stream, but not signposted.Before La Bergerie, at the wooden post, where there are no markings, take the small path leading off to the right. It has been cleared, with the low branches cut back, but it is not (yet) signposted. It runs close to the road and goes round La Bergerie and the sheep pens. When you reach the road, another post marks a path that climbs to the left and joins the GR®, below the Col de la Saume.
A beautiful pyramid that can be spotted from afar.A long walk, without any real difficulty, offering plenty of variety: water, woodland, mountain pastures and herds, a small summit, villages – something to delight everyone. Panoramic views over the Champsaur, the Écrins and, of course, the Dévoluy.
Walks near Col du Noyer
Plateau and Pic de Bure via the Joue du Loup chairlift
The easiest route to explore the Bure massif in summer, ascending via the ski resort’s chairlifts (open one day a week in July and August only). The plateau offers a lunar landscape with the observatory’s satellite dishes, and in clear weather, the view from the Pic de Bure is extraordinary.
The route is described here starting from La Joue du Loup, but there is a similar route starting from SuperDévoluy. Please note: this route is only accessible during the summer opening period of the ski lifts!
Col des Aiguilles - Return circular via Le Chauvet
Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94.
For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route.
This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking.
The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.
Le Lauvet - Lac Labarre
From Le Lauvet, descend to La Chapelle-en-Valjouffrey. Then take the Sentier du Facteur trail, cross the Haute Vallée du Béranger nature reserve in Valsenestre, and finish on the GR®54B trail to Lac Labarre.
La Jarjatte - Lachaup
This link via the Col des Aiguilles involves an ascent facing the Aiguilles de Lus. The descent into the wild Aiguilles valley offers a glimpse of the slopes of the Joue du Loup resort.
Lakes of Sebeyras - Le Lauvet
From the Sebeyras Lakes, the route will first take you to the Col de Pétarel. From there, you will descend towards Saint-Maurice-en-Valgodemar. You will then follow the old transhumance paths to reach the Six Cabanes, then climb the Col de Menoux to Lauvet.
From Villar-Loubière to La Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar via Lac du Lautier
A beautiful, varied hike with stunning views and a lake perfect for relaxing. A pleasant climb (a little steep at the start and very end), in the shade (early in the morning) for a good half of the route; a fairly long and difficult descent over scree. A full day's hike. Use the shuttle bus or bring two vehicles.
