Crête de la Montagne de l'Aup via La Sarcéna

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.
Valdrôme resort: Montagne de l'Aup

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.
Riou Gorges and Revuaire summit

A varied loop in the Baronnies Provençales, which runs through pretty gorges and then to a summit with beautiful panoramic views.
Beaume waterfall

A varied hike to discover the village of La Beaume from the heights, Haute-Beaume and the surrounding area. There are many attractions: an old hermitage (in ruins), the Beaume waterfall, and flora and fauna.
Please note: this hike is not suitable for everyone, as the slopes are steep and the path is narrow and rugged in several places. It is reserved for fairly fit hikers. There is a steep climb early on.
Aiguilles de Rémuzat - Montagne des Gravières

Both Mediterranean and Alpine, this contrasting hike reflects the diverse nature of the region. It includes some tricky sections, but the summit and ridges offer magnificent views. The feeling you get and the beauty of the landscapes are well worth the effort.
The Rock of Cairo

The great cliff of Rocher du Caire rises above Rémuzat. Look up and you'll see griffon vultures flying over the valley.
Please note that a hiker has informed us that a municipal by-law (posted at the top) prohibits hiking in the opposite direction.
The Gorges of the Méouge

A walk through gorges is always pleasant, and in those of Méouge it's a real joy.
On the crests of the Méouge and Ouvèze rivers, in the Baronnies Provençales
This itinerary between the valleys of the Méouge and Ouvèze allows you to take the pulse of the Parc Naturel Régional des Baronnies Provençales. Little travelled and regularly on balconies and ridges, the route alternates between lavender fields and rocky slopes, Scots pine forests and sublime beech woods, pastoral paths and ridges with exceptional panoramic views. In addition to its particularly wild character, the few small villages it passes through are particularly picturesque, and the route allows you to explore the sublime Montagne de Chamouse from every angle.
The Pic de Saint-Cyr

The ascent and descent from this peak are through forest, with the link between the two via a beautiful ridge trail.
The Quigouret loop from Vaunières

A beautiful, challenging loop! The trail passes through alpine pastures and beautifully flowered forests. The view from the summit is stunning, despite the modest altitude (1,686 m). Vaunières is a small village undergoing restoration thanks to young volunteers from all over the world.
The Cols de Boulc and Varaime and Bois Noir loop starting from Les Tatins

This loop takes you through the magnificent meadows and forests above Les Tatins. At this altitude, the land often quickly becomes overgrown, as it has been abandoned by farmers and livestock breeders. This is not the case here, however, and life goes on: hay is harvested, the woods are managed, houses are preserved and more modern ones are being built. The walk is easy. It reaches and then follows the line of the passes, which offer views of the opposite slopes, then descends through woods to the hamlet of Bois Noir. A charming paved road, between wetlands, meadows and abandoned lavender fields, leads back to the starting point of this mountain walk.
Forgotten walk around Soubreroche and Col Lacroix around the Combe

This route around the Combe Charonnière, which was once well documented in local hiking guides, has fallen into disuse, except for the climb up to Soubreroche.
Nevertheless, this walk still has many attractions: it is an opportunity to enjoy landscapes in all directions, discover ancient remains of sheepfolds and terraced crops, and explore a beautiful forest valley that sometimes plunges deep into the ground.
Although there are no major difficulties, apart from a short section in a marly area, we strongly advise hikers to take a GPS device with them, as this little-used area is sometimes covered with abundant vegetation: grass, various types of scrub and sometimes fallen trees, which can temporarily obscure the path.
A beautiful walk for those who like to venture a little beyond the beaten track.
Menglon - La Grésière

This hike in the Glandasse massif takes you up to almost 1,500 metres with unobstructed views and a 360° panorama.
The originality of this hike lies in the fact that the trail takes you through a pedestrian tunnel carved into the mountainside, which is a little vertiginous.
The ammonite slab at Rochers de la Baume, starting from La Cluse
A hike in the wild Abéou valley, at the gateway to the Dévoluy, dominated by the Tête and Roc de Garnesier peaks and the long ridge that runs from Haut Bouffet to Chauvet. The fun climb up the Torrent des Plates leads to the Rochers de la Baume, where you can discover a slab of ammonites. The descent is via the pastoral path, partly through the forest. A short detour allows you to make a round trip in the pleasant Leyvay canyon, which features several pools, ledges and waterfalls.
The Pic de Bure via the Combe d'Aurouze and the Combe de Mai

The Dévoluy massif offers a contrast of colours between the pure blue of the sky and the ochre of the rocks in its trilogy of peaks (Obiou, Grand Ferrand, Pic de Bure).
Correction: the elevation gain is around 1,300 metres
