A circular route that passes by a summit offering panoramic views of Buëch, Dévoluy, and Gapençais, all starting from a picturesque little village: a very promising itinerary.

A remarkable circuit on the Ceüse mountain.

The Circuit des Évêques (named after a place you will pass near) is a very popular route in La Roche-des-Arnauds. It will allow you to discover the cable bridge and the Corréo plateau with interesting views of the Tête de Clappe, the Pic de Bure and the Pic de Ceüze. This circuit is also selected as a mountain bike circuit.

1 November 2025: a user reports => this concerns the route between the wps (6), (7), and (8).Geoportal (Biotope protection decrees) (!) WARNING (!) This hike crosses the perimeter of the prefectural decree for the protection of the Plateau de Bure biotope, in which it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to leave the marked trails, under penalty of a 4th class fine of €750. For the time being, the agents of the French Office for Biodiversity, responsible for enforcing this decree, are taking a preventive approach, but they will surely soon move on to enforcement. Access to the Plateau de Bure off the beaten track. This alpine hike via the Pas de Paul offers an unusual and wild setting, through devolved steps, vertical corridors marked by large staircases. This variant allows you to reach the westernmost peaks of the Bure plateau, the Tête des Pras Arnaud and the Tête de la Cluse, before the Pic de Bure.

This short hike offers panoramic views of the Gap valley and, above all, the Céüse mountain.

This loop runs along much of the foot of the Céüze cliff, then reaches the summit via the Pas du Loup before descending along the ridges.

Starting from Lake Pelleautier, enjoy a pleasant hike at the foot of Montagne de Céüse along the long forest road dominated by cliffs and offering superb panoramic views.

This is an easy hike with a spring halfway along the route. We set off from La Cluse (small car park at the edge of the village) and climb up to Tête de Garnesier, following aGR® trail for most of the hike.

A hike in the wild Abéou valley, at the gateway to the Dévoluy, dominated by the Tête and Roc de Garnesier peaks and the long ridge that runs from Haut Bouffet to Chauvet. The fun climb up the Torrent des Plates leads to the Rochers de la Baume, where you can discover a slab of ammonites. The descent is via the pastoral path, partly through the forest. A short detour allows you to make a round trip in the pleasant Leyvay canyon, which features several pools, ledges and waterfalls.

A route at the foot of Devoluy, which climbs up the Torrent de l'Abbéou, then joins the mountain pastures on the sunny side of Montagne de Lèche. The aim is to reach the Col de Corps, at the foot of Tête de Garnesier. This route is classified as difficult becausesome of the paths through the meadows are not easy to follow after the Fontaine des Ruisseaux, and then as you approach the pass, some sections of unstable terrain are quite steep.

A pleasant little walk above Gap, between the pine and oak forest, then along the Drac Canal. Without any difficulty, it offers a beautiful view of Céüse and the mountains south of Gap, including the Lure mountain.

After taking the famous Sentier des Bans balcony path, we will cross the Petit Buech to return via a small balcony path on the other side before reaching Rabou via a small Roman bridge. There are a few tricky sections on the balconies, especially on the way back. This is where the difficulty lies. Not suitable for those who are afraid of heights.

From the Rabou car park, 15 km from Gap, this hike is partly off-trail and offers exceptional views of the surrounding peaks.

Very beautiful hike on the Bans trail to the old village of Chaudun

This hike takes in four passes, Col des Tours, Col du Vallon de l'Aup, Col du Lauteret and Col de Plate Contier, and is characterised by the diversity of its landscapes and the beauty of its panoramic views. This is a ride with no major technical difficulties and a steady climb throughout, and is one of the most beautiful in the Bochaîne area. "A real favourite".

A fairly wild trail that generally follows the bank of the torrent, offering a beautiful natural atmosphere and views of small waterfalls. The outward route is accessible to families with children, mostly in the shade with the coolness of the torrent.

A hike accessible to young and old alike, which leads to the foot of a beautiful waterfall... It is not uncommon to encounter marmots and sheep (accompanied by their shepherd and dogs). It is at its most beautiful in autumn or after heavy rain. It is possible to turn around and go the other way!

An 8-shaped loop that will take you through the Bois Rond before exploring two valleys and approaching the Pic de Bure rock face. You will have completed the Crête d'Âne loop.

The climb to Pic de l'Aigle is steep, but the view over the plains of La Batie Monsaléon and Savournon, as well as the surrounding peaks, Rocher de Beaumont, Arambre and Grand Ferrand, etc., is well worth the effort.

A short hike in Beauchêne through boxwood and beech woods under the Ranc de Mianoux towards the old Chartreuse de Durbon.

This is a long circular loop that takes you along the two possible hiking routes on this side of the mountain. The difficulty is mainly due to the length. The elevation gain is also significant and some passages require great care (cables).

Family hike in the Toussière valley, now uninhabited but still bearing traces of the past with the ruins of a Templar commandery. During May and June, this is a pleasant hike to enjoy the mountain flora. View of the foothills of Oisans and Dévoluy.

This route takes you from vegetation (the first part is through a beautiful coniferous forest) to rock (the final ascent is over scree). At the pass, you look out over the Cirque de Chaudun (south side) where the Petit Buëch river has its source, but although you can see Ceuze, the view is mainly towards the Écrins peaks.

This beautiful circuit, located on the border of the Drôme, Isère and Hautes-Alpes departments, covers the eastern part of the Lus-la-Croix-Haute area. After a sub-horizontal crossing at the foot of the mountain, the trail climbs through the forest before ascending the mountain pastures to Pointe Feuillette. From passes to ridges, walkers are treated to exceptional panoramic views of the Alps. The return route follows a wide ravine that leads to the Tranchemule stream and then to the Amayères Gorges.
