A very easy visit combining the traditional houses of Vallouise, grouped side by side, and those of Les Parchers, which are much more spread out.

Departure from Vallouise (Hautes-Alpes)
A challenging hike in a high-mountain setting towards a peak in the Montbrison massif, a true vantage point over the Hautes Cimes des Écrins. On a clear day, there is a sweeping panorama stretching from Mont Blanc to Monte Viso.
Due to the large number of junctions, I recommend supplementing the route description with the Visorando app.

A cool hike starting from the village of Les Vigneaux. The Col de la Pousterle can be reached by many routes, but this one takes the "Via Novo", the GR®50. At the pass, there is a view overlooking the Vallée de la Vallouise, and you can even see the front of the Glacier Blanc.

Departure from Vallouise (Hautes-Alpes)
The Col de l'Aup Martin and the Pas de la Cavale from the Onde Valley, leading into the Champoléon Valley.
The Aup Martin – what a pass!
Note: This route is a stage of the Tour de l'Oisans but it is very challenging, particularly in early summer when there is still snow on the Col de l'Aup Martin. For this reason, a diversion has been put in place starting from Vallouise, passing through Puy Saint-Vincent, the Col de la Pousterle and the Fournel valley. You then join the Pas de la Cavale (GR®54A).

Departure from Pelvoux (Hautes-Alpes)
An alpine hike, largely off-trail, through very wild terrain; not particularly difficult but requiring sure-footedness. You’re more likely to encounter chamois than people! Stunning views of the Pelvoux.
Setting off early means you can complete much of the ascent in the shade.

Stage11 of this route. One of the most beautiful and challenging stages of the route, featuring the Aup Martin pass at 2,700 metres and the Pas de la Cavale, the highest point ofthe GR® 54. This stage demands the utmost vigilance and experience of high-mountain hiking. The views are absolutely stunning and incredibly wild.
