Lac des Monges, with its forest, mountain pastures and a magnificent ridge line offering exceptional views over the massifs of the Southern Alps (Dévoluy, Ecrins, Préalpes de Digne…). Please note that, despite the modest altitude, snow can linger well into the season.

Departure from Bayons (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A superb hike starting from Lac d’Esparron. The first part of the ascent winds through a dense and majestic forest, which is undoubtedly very pleasant for its coolness in summer. Upon reaching the edge of the Clapouse pastures, the landscape suddenly opens up to a magnificent panorama. The final part of the ascent takes place in open country, amidst a rugged, rocky landscape that feels almost timeless. At the summit of Costebelle, a breathtaking 360° view awaits you. Take a deep breath and treat your lungs to a real breath of fresh air.
