Cruis walks

A pleasant hike along paths that wind through the foothills of the Lure mountain, allowing you to discover jas restored by volunteers from the commune of Cruis in sublime locations. Follow the yellow and red markings at first, then only the yellow markings.

Ascent of Montagne de Lure from Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues. Circular route to the summit via Notre-Dame de Lure and the resort of Lure, covering part of the ridges of Montagne de Lure. This route offers varied landscapes, crossing a beech forest, alpine meadows and dwarf junipers on the ridges, all offering panoramic views of Mont Ventoux and the Albion Plateau, the Southern Alps and the peaks of the Écrins.

This is a short hike along the ridge of Lure Mountain, with guaranteed 360° panoramic views, to Cairn 2000, which commemorates the transition tothe third millennium. Even though this is a round trip, the advantage of a ridge is that the landscape is completely different on each side

The hike quickly reaches a superb viewpoint offering a clear view of the mountains of south-eastern France:- Sainte-Baume and Sainte-Victoire (Bouches-du-Rhône)- Le Lubéron or Mont Ventoux (Vaucluse)- Le Verdon (Var/Alpes de Haute Provence)- Les Trois Becs (Drôme)- Le Dévoluy or Les Écrins (Hautes Alpes)- Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymont (Isère).Then we set off to explore the resort's old ski lifts, finally returning via the old coal mines.

A country walk between the villages of Ongles and Lardiers. A bucolic and peaceful route in the spirit of Jean Giono, surrounded by fields, farms, lavender and oak forests.

Discover the Ganagobie plateau covered with oak and pine trees and its monastery. Beautiful view of the Durance valley and the Croix de l'Allée des Moines.

A short walk with lots to discover: the priory, of course, as well as an old millstone quarry and the oppidum known as Villevieille.

Lurs, a Provençal village perched on a rocky outcrop, with its shaded paved slanting streets, surrounded by a landscape of olive trees, offers an exceptional panorama of the Pre-Alps, the Durance valley, the Valensole plateau, the Montagne de Lure and the Luberon mountain range.

A beautiful, easy hike starting from the charming village of Saumane, with beautiful sheepfolds in very good condition and magnificent landscapes. Bring something to drink on sunny days as much of the route is in direct sunlight.

The small village of Limans is known for its six dovecotes.

Located north of Focalquier, the Mourres rocks are a geological curiosity. The area is full of enormous mushroom-shaped rocks several metres high. The word Mourre means 'snout' in Provençal.

The upper trail offers a completely different view from the valley. The Pénitents show their heads and draperies, which is almost more surprising than from below! And then there is a lovely view of the nearby Durance valley. The trail is easy, but there is often a drop on at least one side. Take care with children.

An easy route that combines the "Au fil de l'eau" heritage trail created by the Château-Arnoux Heritage Association with an exploration of the flora and fauna of the banks of the middle Durance.

A very easy walk to prepare for longer hikes. Very pretty view of the Volx rock.

If you like Bories, you'll see them in the distance at the start, then up close, and you can even go inside some of them. On your way back, before you get to the village, you'll walk up a superb calade (cobbled) street, and there's a little detour to see the Château de Mane.

Discover the Via Domitia, the drystone shelters, the Roman bridge, the Roman ford at Reculon, the hamlet of Les Craux, the village of Lincel and return via the astronomical observatory.

Here you will hike its entire length, along the north side and then along the ridge.

A short hike that's perfect for exploring Sisteron from all angles! Passing by the cemetery, you'll find a quiet little path that leads to Route de Ribier. Head back towards Sisteron, then take the Sentier du Molard trail and return via the stunning Thor plateau. Walkers with dogs will be delighted.

This hike takes you to the top of La Baume. Magnificent views of Sisteron, the surrounding valleys and the Alps. You then cross to the other side of the mountain, revealing yet another landscape. But first, you will need to pass through the Grotte du Trou de l'Argent, which adds a touch of adventure to the route. During your journey, you will also use handrails, small ladders and cross a balcony.
