Departure from Saint-Disdier (Hautes-Alpes)
A superb route allowing you to discover the Canyon and the Arche des Adroits and climb up to the Grand Ferrand via two tunnels (sinkholes) and a very beautiful rocky ridge. The return journey allows you to visit the Chourum and the Vire Olympique as well as numerous karstic caves.
This little-used route is challenging and requires sure footing on scree and very steep grassy steps. It is almost entirely off-trail.

Departure from Agnières-en-Dévoluy (Hautes-Alpes)
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.
