Les Infournas walks

At the gateway to the Massif des Écrins, near Saint-Bonnet-en-Champsaur, this superb loop hike begins with a gentle ascent through a magnificent larch forest. Along the way, the lush green vegetation accompanies you to the foot of the Col du Cendrier, where the slope gradually levels out. The effort is rewarded by a wide panoramic view of the Massif des Écrins.The traverse of the Crêtes du Barry adds a welcome technical touch, giving the route an extra touch of character. The return, via the Pas and then the Col de l'Escalier, is on a pleasant, flowing path.A beautiful hike, where the spring flora comes into its own with every step.

A hike mainly through woodland, becoming steep towards the end, offering views of the Champsaur valley and Vieux Chaillol.

A varied countryside walk with spectacular views over the Champsaur and the Dévoluy. Unfortunately, there are a few tarmac sections, but these roads are very quiet. The route passes the Trois Croix viewpoint and the curious Chapelle des Pétètes, also known as the Chapelle Saint-Grégoire.

A family walk in the forest in the middle of Champsaur, offering beautiful views of the neighbouring mountains.

A pleasant walk through meadows and woods, starting on aGR®(easy) route and returning via the higher forest path with a slight climb.

Starting from Molines-en-Champsaur, this circular route takes you to the Cabane de Londonnière via a mountain trail, then ends with a gentle descent along a forest path beside the Muande torrent.

A circular walk on the north-facing side of the Séveraissette Valley in Molines-en-Champsaur. Almost entirely shaded along its entire route, this walk is particularly suitable for hot summer days. After a gentle warm-up along the Torrent de Muande, the climb becomes steep as you reach the highest point, before descending gently along the circular path which crosses several small streams beneath the Baisses de la Juberne.

The steep right-hand slope of the Séveraissette valley is home to the path crossing the Col de l’Ardouère, which winds boldly through the rugged terrain of a complex and magnificent landscape. When spring snow lingers on the Col de Font-Froide, the south-facing route offers a good alternative for enjoying the panoramic views over the post-glacial Peyron-Roux valley. From the beech and fir forest to the barren rocks of the pass, you’ll pass through all the vegetation zones found on Alpine slopes. And near the summit, you might spot a rock partridge. Be warned! Whilst the ascent via the eastern slope remains accessible after an idyllic start, despite the steep gradient and the need to cross torrents, the descent via the western slope features exposed, even vertiginous, sections where the slightest slip could prove fatal.

The final destination of this almost round-trip itinerary, the Col de Font Froide offers an exceptional view of the Écrins massif. In the distance: Barre des Écrins, Pic Coolidge, Ailefroide, Les Bans... And nearby: Pic de Colle Blanche, Brèche de l'Homme Étroit, Tête de Mal Cros, Pointe des Moutières, Pic de Parières, Aiguille de Morges. Far below: the Navette valley in Valgaudemar. A high mountain atmosphere is guaranteed on this pass, which is accessible via a footpath!

A pleasant circular walk around the Torrent de la Muande, in the Séveraissette valley at Molines-en-Champsaur. Almost entirely shaded along its entire route, this walk is particularly suitable during the summer heat. The climb is fairly gentle and pleasant as far as the Cabane de Londonnière. The footpath crosses several small streams before reaching the ruined hamlet of Sellon at the bottom of the valley. The return route takes you past the enchanting site of the Cabane de Suzaire, where huge boulders in the forest lend the place a unique charm, before descending beneath the Baisses de la Juberne. A walk that allows you to discover one of the prettiest valleys in the Champsaur!

A balcony walk with views of the Champsaurin bocage, the Chaîne du Faraut, the Banc du Peyron and the Petit Chaillol mountain.

A challenging and rugged hike beneath the ridges of Banc du Peyron and Moussière.

A walk in the Notre-Dame de Bois-Vert forest, on the mountainside with a magnificent view of the Champsaur valley and its typical bocage landscape.The Notre-Dame de Bois-Vert sanctuary is a true haven of peace!

In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful hikes in the area. It offers views of the Champsaur and Gapençais valleys.
