Description of the walk

Car park at the cemetery in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie.

(S/E) Walk along the cemetery on your left, pass the Sainte-Anne Chapel, then at the first intersection, turn left onto the path that winds through a cultivated area.

(1) At the second intersection, take the path on the left.

(2) At the crossroads, turn left (east) onto the path.

(3) Ford the Courchon ravine and head south. Follow the rocky cliff. Further on, the path rises steeply and joins the rocky peak of the Belvédère de Tréguier. Access to the highest point is not recommended unless you are sure-footed and have good handholds!

(4) Return via the same route to reach the car park (S/E).

We went on this walk in April, so we didn’t come across many people. However, I don’t think it would be very pleasant during the peak tourist season, as the path is quite narrow.
In fact, at the end of the route, you have to climb over some rougher terrain. Personally, I’m afraid of heights, but I should point out that at this point it’s not actually steep. So I didn’t go up, but the rest of the group did. The view of the lake is supposed to be lovely.

An easy walk, with just a slight climb to reach the viewpoint. Along the way, there are a few views of Lake Sainte-Croix, enhanced by the fact that the trees are bare at this time of year. The best view is undoubtedly at the end, at the viewpoint. We were lucky enough to see griffon vultures circling above us.

A lovely walk, with around twenty information boards explaining the flora, fauna and history along the route. Beautiful views from the viewpoint. We were lucky enough to watch the eagles dancing in the sky.

Even though it's a round trip on the same path, this is a very interesting hike that allows you to admire vultures and rock swallows once you reach the viewpoint.
The last few metres are difficult to descend due to the steep gradient and loose stones.

Very beautiful final viewpoint. That said, it's not a hike, at best a walk!

A balcony trail above the Maïre Valley and a beautiful view of Lac Ste-Croix.
A lovely, easy walk with my daughter and grandchildren (aged 4 and 7).
At the end of the trail, we stayed on the first ledge, where we were able to watch a pair of griffon vultures and, perhaps, a bearded vulture in flight...

Thank you, laurence30

A very pretty hike in the hills above Lake Sainte Croix.
The trail is fairly easy, although the last few metres are very steep.
We were with our children aged 7 and 8.
A beautiful discovery at the end of the trail with a stunning view of the lake.
A family of ibex can easily be seen above our heads on the last part of the trail – magical!

A pleasant hike when you don't have much time. The last 200 metres are quite challenging for casual walkers.

This is the perfect hike for exploring the area around Moustiers. It's a shame that the view from the viewpoint is difficult to access because it's dangerous. Fortunately, the panoramic views beforehand are superb. Vultures, mountain swallows and even a chamois (thanks to the young couple of hikers who pointed it out to us) delight wildlife enthusiasts. We also took the time to read and appreciate the information boards along the route, which you can read again on the way back as you pass the same place to return to the starting point.

A magnificent hike at the end of August with a view of the red gorges of Daluis that is not to be missed.
The entire route is very pleasant and easy.

A short, pleasant walk leading to the natural viewpoint of Tréguier: a rocky outcrop that requires careful navigation...
Done in August, early in the morning, relatively shaded. Reliable signposting and markings, benches to rest on, interesting information panels about the flora and fauna.
No need to take out a map or GPS;
A sow and her piglets crossed the path a hundred metres ahead of us.
Perfect for a day trip: Hike to the Tréguier viewpoint > Visit the village of Moustiers > Climb up to the Beauvoir Chapel.

A very pleasant short hike.
The landscapes were "flamboyant" with their autumn colours.
Unobstructed views throughout the hike.
The magnificent view from the lookout point makes up for the final climb.
Thanks to the author for sharing...
