L'Épine walks

A beautiful hike across two peaks of the Montagne de Laup, offering superb 360° views.

A magnificent ridge walk between the Oule valley (on the Montmorin side) and the Blème valley (on the Ribeyret side).

This stage is different from the previous one, less airy, but the second half has some wonderful surprises in store. From the Col des Pins, the view opens up onto the wide agricultural valley of Rosans, which is magnificent. Above all, the final stretch is particularly fabulous. Directly above Rosans, the trail literally plunges down towards the old village, a marvel of the Baronnies.

This is a beautiful hike to discover the southernmost ridges of the Diois region, culminating in the highest point of this landscape, the summit of Duffre. The panorama offers superb views of the Southern Alps and Dévoluy.

Discover more than five kilometres of ridge offering breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding mountains. The route follows almost exclusively single-track trails winding through woods and meadows. From late May to late June, the trail is adorned with abundant, particularly pleasant and colourful flora.

From the resort, you will discover a vast 360° panorama of the Southern Alps and the whole of the Diois region, with a view of Mont Ventoux too. Best done in June for the exceptional flora.

From Vieux Serres under the Rocher de la Pignolette, via the Crêtes de Fontarache, the Rocher de Jardane and the Crêtes de la Bouisse: a beautiful hike through sharp limestone pavement and boxwood.

Set off in style on this revisited Tour des Baronnies. Throughout the morning, the narrow path winds along the ridges overlooking Serres, winding its way between beautiful rocks and twisted Scots pines. At Serre de la Bouisse, the view of the Baronnies and the Alpine peaks is breathtaking. Then, between the bucolic Col d'Arron and the finish, the path progresses delightfully, like a balcony, under the Montagne de l'Aup. Finally, the Praboyer lodge is located in the heart of nature.

This circular route, starting from the charming medieval town of Serres, accessible by train, gives pride of place to the ridges and peaks of the massif. Between the Hautes-Alpes and Drôme, each day offers spectacular views and aerial trails, without any major technical difficulties. Small Provençal villages, perfectly integrated into the landscape, punctuate this particularly wild and uncrowded route. Between lively and diverse forests, golden pastures, lavender fields and prominent limestone rocks, this part of the Baronnies, with its strong rural and mountainous character, offers exceptional panoramic views of the Southern Alps and the nearby Provençal peaks every day.

Discover the historical heritage of Serres, with views of the Buëch valley.The trail winds its way up to the Fontarache ridge and descends in stages to the village.

Discover the Serrois region and its varied landscapes. From the Serres ridges to the cliffs of Sigottier, from the forest to the black earth of La Montagne, and from the traditional villages to the mountain pastures, the trail will allow you to appreciate the diversity of the landscapes surrounding this pretty medieval village dotted with “soustets” (covered walkways).

The first section follows the roads through the village of Serres. The second section follows a narrow path through the forest. The slopes are quite steep and slippery due to the pine needles covering the ground. The third section follows a wide track forming the embankment alongside the Buëch. Point of interest: at the summit, a heritage information board detailing the historical site where the village of Serres was founded.

A lovely walk through the Baronnies Provençales Regional Nature Park, taking in four mountain passes.

Starting from the hamlet of La Bâtie-des-Fonds and the sources of the Drôme via cross-country paths, you reach an enchanting ridge. The route winds between Drôme and Hautes-Alpes, offering a 360° panorama with views of Le Duffre, Le Dévoluy and, in the distance, Le Vercors, Les Écrins and the Lure mountain.

A grand finale for this revisited Tour des Baronnies. Along the ridges of Aumage and Eyglière, the peaks of Dévoluy and Écrins have never seemed so close. The Buëch Valley stretches out below us, and the 360° views allow us to retrace the path we have travelled over the last seven days: Serre de la Bouisse, Chamouse, Chabre and other peaks emerge on the horizon, bringing back fond memories.

A beautiful hike to discover wild peonies in the Valdrôme area, on the Crêtes des Casses in the Haut Diois, on the border of the Drôme Provençale. This walk is a feast for the eyes, as you will encounter a wide variety of flowers in May and June.
