La Saulce walks

A varied hike visiting the villages of La Saulce, Lardier and Valença, crossing the vast forests of the Bois de la Pinée. The highlight is the view from Sainte-Croix, a true promontory overlooking the Durance valley.

The Serre de Malamort ridge is a remarkable balcony offering superb views, particularly of Dévoluy, Les Écrins and the Durance valley. The route often passes through woodland, so you can enjoy the beautiful colours of autumn.

This family walk crosses the hill of Saint-Abdon, on the northern edge of which Tallard Castle was built, following the ridge. Please note that some sections run alongside the cliff. It offers magnificent views over the Durance valley, the Montagne de Céüse and the Pic de Bure. The return route takes you across the plain, on the Durance side, past orchards, vineyards and allotments.

Loop above Tallard via Ville Vieille, which was the old village.

Circular loop above Tallard, mostly through pine forest.

Magnificent viewpoint above the Val de Durance with a 360° view from the summit.

A varied route featuring a beautiful forest and a flower-filled ridge offering a magnificent 360° panorama.

Hike above Claret, on the border between the Alpes de Provence and the Hautes-Alpes.

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 loop runs along much of the foot of the Céüze cliff, then reaches the summit via the Pas du Loup before descending along the ridges.

This short hike offers panoramic views of the Gap valley and, above all, the Céüse mountain.

This hike has two contrasting sections: the start and the end take place on trails and pastoral tracks, which lend themselves to daydreaming. Crossing the ridges becomes technical (without major difficulties) as you approach the summit of Jalinier, with no real path but a passage open in the vegetation and the rocky ridge of the summit. With an unexpected exit to pass the summit bastion. See practical information regarding the final section of the Jalinier summit.

Between marlstone and forests, a hike to the south of Gap.

Starting from Lake Pelleautier, enjoy a pleasant hike at the foot of Montagne de Céüse along the long forest road dominated by cliffs and offering superb panoramic views.

A remarkable circuit on the Ceüse mountain.

A varied route linking the meadows of Jarjayes to the dense forests of Grand Bois via Les Bournas. Along this circular route, there are numerous viewpoints overlooking the Gap basin, offering a succession of panoramas that make you want to stop and admire the landscape. Part of the route runs through the forest, providing welcome shade on summer days.
