Entrages walks

A pleasant hike. Departure from the pretty village of Entrages. The chapel on its spur is a must-see. At the summit of Cousson, there is a beautiful 360° panorama.

Although not very high, the Cousson dominates the region because it is an isolated peak. This gentle walk will take you to the original St-Michel Chapel on its perch, then to the southern summit with its stunning view. This walk offers excellent value for money in terms of the view/difficulty of the climb! Ideal for families. Allow 3 to 3½ hours for the walk, no more. There are no surprises.

This modified hike takes you around the entire Feston and its ridge, with some off-trail sections. It allows you to discover the magnificent panorama offered by the entire Barre des Dourbes. The lunch break in front of such a sumptuous panorama is just begging to be extended. An alternative shuttle service allows you to make a detour to the ruins of the Château de la Reine Jeanne and the Chapelle Saint-Pons. GPS and/or map reading skills are highly recommended.

An easy, often shaded walk for the whole family. Superb view of Digne and its thermal baths from the belvedere.

A magnificent ridge trail with superb views over the Bléone valley and Digne-les-Bains, as well as the Asse valley. Its long limestone cliff stretches from south to north for nearly seventeen kilometres, with the Pic de Couard (1,988 metres) at its northern end.

Long north-south oriented ridge, the Barre des Dourbes ridge separates the basin of Digne-les-Bains from the Barrême syncline. Rising in stages over twenty kilometres, culminating Pic de Couar some 1988 m above sea level.

A very pleasant walk. Up to (3), there are numerous views of Digne and its surroundings. At the top of the Andran (6), there is a beautiful 360° panorama. On the way back, there is a very beautiful passage before Courbons.

Two hills dominate the Bourg district of Digne-les-Bains. Here is a route that takes you to both in the same day. For those staying in Digne, it is nice to start directly from the town.

A very beautiful hike with a trail that gradually climbs, offering beautiful views of the Bléone River, which flows through Digne-les-Bains. The fortified village of Courbons proudly displays its medieval heritage. A break at the summit of Andran (altitude 1,218 m) is a must, as it offers an exceptional 360° view.

A short hike along little-used paths, evidence of the decline in agriculture. Sunny slopes and panoramic views that are well worth the trip!

This hike starting from Courbons is an unforgettable experience for lovers of nature and alpine landscapes. From this charming hilltop village, you’ll discover heritage treasures such as the Church of Notre-Dame-des-Anges, the medieval mill and the belfry. The climb up to Martignon offers beautiful panoramic views of the Digne Pre-Alps. Once at the summit of Martignon, prepare to be amazed by a spectacular view of the Massif des Trois Évêchés. On a clear day, you can make out Les Monges, the bells of Barles and even the fort at Dormillouse. The final climb to La Bigue, though steep, is rewarded with a breathtaking 360° panorama. The return route via the Baisse des Chatières takes you through a peaceful, wooded valley, the perfect way to round off this adventure in the heart of nature. A hike not to be missed for lovers of magnificent scenery and tranquillity.

A rich and varied route with a climb through the forest followed by a summit offering a magnificent panoramic view stretching from Montagne Sainte-Victoire to the Massif des Écrins, taking in all the foothills of the Digne Pre-Alps and Mont Ventoux.

A very beautiful hike above Archail. Superb views throughout the walk and at the summit. A very pleasant setting.

Variation (extension) of the route leading to the peaks of Couard and Cucuyon, but allowing you to walk along a magnificent ridge line and make a circular route. Many thanks to the hiker I met on the descent from the summit of Couard who made this brilliant suggestion.

Hike in the northern part of the Coupe mountain, east of Digne-les-Bains, between the Bléone and Issole valleys. After a beautiful climb through the forest, you will reach two peaks approaching 2,000 metres, offering superb panoramic views. The hike starts in Archail, a small village 13 km from Digne-les-Bains, which can be reached by a road, already magnificent, that runs alongside the Bouinenc torrent.

An easy loop that starts on a very small, quiet paved road in a wild valley. It then follows a series of paths and trails, ending with a short stretch on a very small road. There are points of interest along the route, with magnificent views of the peaks.

Very beautiful hike to do between April and October.

Magnificent gorges, especially in autumn. The climb up to the Chapelle Saint-André is a 2km round trip, but the view from the top is well worth the diversions. You will pass through the remains of the hamlet of Valbonnette. A little further on, another detour of around a hundred metres, to see the ruins of a house, where a large round pillar has remained in its centre, still with the notches used to fix the wooden beams on two levels.
