Hautes-Duyes walks

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.

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

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

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.

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

A mountain walk through the forest with beautiful autumn colours. Stunning views from the top of Les Monges.

This impressive rocky ridge is visible from Sisteron and the surrounding area. If you dream of climbing it, here is one of the possible routes. It's a fairly easy hike but offers exceptional views of the mountains, the Sasse valley and the Durance river.

A lovely, not too long walk with beautiful views of the Durance and Bléone valleys.

This is a short loop, suitable for horse riding, which follows part of the Trail des Cathelières de Mallemoisson route. There is a quick alternative route to climb up to Vieil Aiglun and then return to the loop.

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

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.

This hike takes you to the top of La Baume. Magnificent views of Sisteron, the surrounding valleys and the Alps. You then cross to the other side of the mountain, revealing yet another landscape. But first, you will need to pass through the Grotte du Trou de l'Argent, which adds a touch of adventure to the route. During your journey, you will also use handrails, small ladders and cross a balcony.

A short hike that's perfect for exploring Sisteron from all angles! Passing by the cemetery, you'll find a quiet little path that leads to Route de Ribier. Head back towards Sisteron, then take the Sentier du Molard trail and return via the stunning Thor plateau. Walkers with dogs will be delighted.

This hike is for those who:- want to walk 10 km at a good pace. It is a mostly flat trail, good for pacing. - are afraid of the sun and heat. It is 90% covered by dense vegetation. - enjoy peace and quiet. The area is much less frequented than the Baume mountain.This mountain is not named on maps. Here you will hike its entire length, along the north side and then along the ridge.

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.

The upper trail offers a completely different view from the valley. The Pénitents show their heads and draperies, which is almost more surprising than from below! And then there is a lovely view of the nearby Durance valley. The trail is easy, but there is often a drop on at least one side. Take care with children.

Very pretty summit with a 360° view. From Mont Ventoux to the Écrins and from Dévoluy to the Monges massif. The route is varied, with very little tarmac, forest tracks and trails. The climb is very pleasant among the oak and box trees.

This easy hike will take you to the remarkable church of Tartonne, the unusual Puits Salé (salt well) and its protective dyke, and some of the hamlets of Tartonne. Superb views of the Asse and Clumanc valleys.

A superb, slightly challenging hike from the Lodge des Robines to the summit of La Sapée (1,701 m). Pass by the magnificent Notre-Dame d'Entraigues church and near the Tartonne salt well. Superb views of the Asse Valley. Dense coniferous forest on the way up and deciduous forest on the way down.The Visorando app is highly recommended.

Discover the amazing summit of La Sapée from the Asse and Clumanc valleys. A fairly challenging round-trip hike, given the elevation gain, mostly in forest. Superb views of the valley.

Discover the Ganagobie plateau covered with oak and pine trees and its monastery. Beautiful view of the Durance valley and the Croix de l'Allée des Moines.
