Le Chaffaut-Saint-Jurson walks
Abandoned village of Lagremuse
This marked trail leads to the ruins of an abandoned village. From the site of the old castle and its chapel, there is a superb view of the Bléone valley.
On the trail of the Trail des Cathelières
This is a short loop, suitable for horse riding, which follows part of the Trail des Cathelières de Mallemoisson route. There is a quick alternative route to climb up to Vieil Aiglun and then return to the loop.
La Colette - Piégu around Mirabeau
A lovely, not too long walk with beautiful views of the Durance and Bléone valleys.
The summit of Andran from Digne-les-Bains
A very pleasant walk. Up to (3), there are numerous views of Digne and its surroundings. At the top of the Andran (6), there is a beautiful 360° panorama. On the way back, there is a very beautiful passage before Courbons.
Circular from Courbons via the Riou ravine and the Baisse des Chatières
A short hike along little-used paths, evidence of the decline in agriculture. Sunny slopes and panoramic views that are well worth the trip!
Secondary summit of Cousson via Entrages
Although not very high, the Cousson dominates the region because it is an isolated peak. This gentle walk will take you to the original St-Michel Chapel on its perch, then to the southern summit with its stunning view.
This walk offers excellent value for money in terms of the view/difficulty of the climb! Ideal for families.
Allow 3 to 3½ hours for the walk, no more. There are no surprises.
Towards Cousson from Entrages
A pleasant hike. Departure from the pretty village of Entrages. The chapel on its spur is a must-see. At the summit of Cousson, there is a beautiful 360° panorama.
The three chapels and the Rocher de Neuf-Heures in Digne-les-Bains
Two hills dominate the Bourg district of Digne-les-Bains. Here is a route that takes you to both in the same day. For those staying in Digne, it is nice to start directly from the town.
Beynes Mountain
A rich and varied route with a climb through the forest followed by a summit offering a magnificent panoramic view stretching from Montagne Sainte-Victoire to the Massif des Écrins, taking in all the foothills of the Digne Pre-Alps and Mont Ventoux.
The summit of Andran via the village of Courbons
A very beautiful hike with a trail that gradually climbs, offering beautiful views of the Bléone River, which flows through Digne-les-Bains. The fortified village of Courbons proudly displays its medieval heritage. A break at the summit of Andran (altitude 1,218 m) is a must, as it offers an exceptional 360° view.
The Saint-Pancrace Chapel in Digne
An easy, often shaded walk for the whole family. Superb view of Digne and its thermal baths from the belvedere.
Circular around the Perusse chapel.
A lovely walk in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence with a stop at the Saint-Joseph Chapel and beautiful views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
Trévans Gorges via the château
Very beautiful hike to do between April and October.
The Gorges de Trévans, via the Chapelle Saint-André
Magnificent gorges, especially in autumn. The climb up to the Chapelle Saint-André is a 2km round trip, but the view from the top is well worth the diversions.
You will pass through the remains of the hamlet of Valbonnette. A little further on, another detour of around a hundred metres, to see the ruins of a house, where a large round pillar has remained in its centre, still with the notches used to fix the wooden beams on two levels.
Around Château-Arnoux Lake - Volonne
An easy route that combines the "Au fil de l'eau" heritage trail created by the Château-Arnoux Heritage Association with an exploration of the flora and fauna of the banks of the middle Durance.
Barre des Dourbes via the Pas de Labaud and Pas de la Faye
A magnificent ridge trail with superb views over the Bléone valley and Digne-les-Bains, as well as the Asse valley. Its long limestone cliff stretches from south to north for nearly seventeen kilometres, with the Pic de Couard (1,988 metres) at its northern end.
The Sentier des Pénitents des Mées
The upper trail offers a completely different view from the valley. The Pénitents show their heads and draperies, which is almost more surprising than from below! And then there is a lovely view of the nearby Durance valley. The trail is easy, but there is often a drop on at least one side. Take care with children.
The Barre des Dourbes ridge
Long north-south oriented ridge, the Barre des Dourbes ridge separates the basin of Digne-les-Bains from the Barrême syncline.
Rising in stages over twenty kilometres, culminating Pic de Couar some 1988 m above sea level.
A Poil!
A journey to the end of the world, ideal for lovers of nature and tranquillity. And yet we are in the PACA region, in the heart of Haute-Provence, in a wild environment where you can discover the ancient village of Le Poil (in the 19th century, the commune had 350 inhabitants, including more than a hundred in the village).
The village of Poil starting from Chabrejas
A very beautiful, easy route through ancient lands in the wild lavender country.
Montdenier at the start of the Col de Saint Jurs
This is a superb hike, perfect for a family outing. It is not particularly difficult and offers breathtaking views of the Valensole plateau, the Verdon, Lake Sainte Croix, the Southern Alps, the Baronnies and Mont Ventoux.
The summit of Agra from Saint-Jurs
This hike offers impressive panoramic views of Provence and the Southern Alps. In winter, you can enjoy magnificent views of the snow-covered Southern Alps. The small village of Saint-Jurs is pleasant. And then there's the view...
Ichthyosaur Geological Site
This easy hike takes you to a fossil of an ichthyosaur, a large marine reptile measuring over 4 m and dating back 183 million years. The trail runs along a fairly cool ravine before climbing up a slope covered with downy oak and beech trees to the Col du Jas. The archaeological site is located 200 m after the pass.
