The Baroness’s Trail
The scree from the summer of 2024 makes this route extremely difficult and demanding.
Brought back into the spotlight by Pascal Sombardier’s publications, the Sentier de la Baronne crosses the Petites Charances, a suspended balcony at the foot of the western face of the Dévoluy (stretching from the Grand Ferrand to the Obiou), above Tréminis.
It is a long and demanding route, not necessarily very technical, but one where you must take great care with every step.
The view stretches westwards, from the Chartreuse to Mont Ventoux, via the eastern face of the Vercors.
