(S/E) Start from the Aspres-sur-Buech Tourist Office at the bottom of the village. Leave the Tourist Office behind you and walk up Avenue de la Gare towards the Route de Sisteron.
(1) Cross it and take Rue des Jardins on the left. At the end of this street, take Route de Valence on the right and follow it for 500m.
(2) Turn right to walk up the street between the housing estates (Chemin de Saint-Apôtre)
(3) Continue along a path that enters the forest. The climb through the forest is quite steep. The path is overgrown at the start (long trousers recommended) but eventually clears out. From time to time, clearings offer views of the village below. Follow the well-marked path, which climbs quite steeply with hairpin bends towards the end. This leads to the Col de Marjariès (picnic tables).
(4) Turn right onto the track leading up to the summit. Ignore a small path branching off to the right and follow the wide track to the left. Continue to the antennas.
(5) Continue straight on (east) along the ridge. The view is splendid on both sides. Descend at a brisk pace to reach the Col de Seille.
(6) Turn right towards Aspres for the return journey. The forest path is very pleasant and descends gently to the village. A tricky (slippery) section on the right bank of the Ravin des Combes does, however, require caution. Continue to follow the path as it takes you closer to the village.
(7) Pass the holiday camp on your left and continue along the path to the entrance to the village.
(8) Continue along the road and turn right with it. You’ll come out onto the D1075; follow it to the right.
(1) Turn left to return to the Tourist Office (S/E).
