Hautes-Duyes walks

A lovely, fairly easy walk in the Hautes Duyes.

The view from the summit is spectacular, with a 360° panorama where only the Monges mountains hide the Oisans. You can see south all the way to the Basse-Provence, passing by the Lure mountain, Mont Ventoux, Dévoluy with the Pic de Bure, the Blanche valley near Digne, and more. Contrast between the Mediterranean climb facing south and the colder ridge.

A short but exciting stay in the Montagne des Monges. This mountain separates the valleys of Sisteron (Durance) and Digne (Bléone).

First stage of a two-day circuit in the Montagne des Monges.

A lovely walk in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence with a stop at the Saint-Joseph Chapel and beautiful views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

This easy hike takes you to a fossil of an ichthyosaur, a large marine reptile measuring over 4 m and dating back 183 million years. The trail runs along a fairly cool ravine before climbing up a slope covered with downy oak and beech trees to the Col du Jas. The archaeological site is located 200 m after the pass.

A beautiful hike that will take you to the easy summit of Les Monges, a magnificent viewpoint with a 360° view.

Hike in the Vanson national forest, with a view of the hills.

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

There are some beautiful landscapes around the region's unique geological formations, particularly the distinctive Lame de Facibelle, an impressive "slice" of rock. The route is marked in yellow.

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.

An easily accessible hike with a sublime panorama on arrival at the geological curiosity of the Vélodrome, as well as the Lame de Facibelle and the Gorges du Bés. A very pleasant route through varied vegetation.

Second stage of the two-day trip to the Montagne des Monges.

Les Cloches de Barles is no piece of cake to climb! Reaching the summit is like climbing to the top of a layer cake: you have to work up a sweat to earn your cherry. But once you're up there, it's a feast for the eyes. And to get back down, hop, a little bucolic stroll in picture-postcard style, between the Cabane des Prés and the Sommet de Chine, with dancing flowers and smiling meadows. In short, a real fairy tale hiking experience!

A beautiful hike with no particular difficulties through the mountain pastures to reach the Col des Cloches. You can continue to the summit of one of the bells. Shorter version of a previously published hike: Les Cloches de Barbes and summit of Chine via Le Forest

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.

The Monges massif, a place to discover. A festive welcome from the marmots (with a bit of luck, one that lives in the old Chinese hut). A 360° view of all the massifs of the Alpes de Hautes Provence: Estrop, Cloches de Barles, Cheval Blanc.

Starting from the pretty village of Valavoire, enjoy a walk along the ridge with superb 360° views and a visit to the curious site of the Château de la Mole.
