Tête de Vente-Cul and the summit of Les Teyssonnières
This hike is an unforgettable experience, particularly after a snowfall which has transformed the natural landscape. Located near La Roche-des-Arnauds, it offers an accessible and well-maintained route, although it is not signposted. The cairns dotted along the path make it easy to find your way, even for less experienced walkers. Right from the start, the landscape opens up to spectacular views: Céüse, the Tête de la Clappe, the Rabou Valley and Charance. Every stage invites you to pause and reflect, and to lose yourself in the moment. The gradual ascent eventually leads to the summit of Les Teyssonnières, a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint, particularly over the Pic de Bure and the massifs of Les Trois Évêchés, Le Parpaillon and Les Écrins.

The summit of the Barre de la Roche-des-Arnauds via a circular route from Les Baux

The ridge offers a panoramic view of the Upper Buëch valley, and the circular route allows you to discover the cabrettes, a remarkable piece of forestry heritage.
Les Cabrettes des Roux
This hike is first and foremost an opportunity to discover a little-known heritage and practice of forestry, namely cable transport. This ancient practice dates back to the 1930s and has been partially restored by Mr Pierre Para. The "cabrette" is the common name given to the pylon that supports the cable. Of course, throughout the hike, the view of the south face of the Pic de Bure and its east pillar (opened by René Desmaison in three days in September 1961) will be remarkable.
Circular Matacharre to Col de Conode
A classic PR® marked trail, located mainly in the Sauvas National Forest, above La Roche des Arnauds.
The route descends from the Maison Forestière de Matacharre to the Ravin du Rif de l'Arc, climbs back up to the Col de Matacharre via the forest road through Le Pinet, then follows a GRP® trail with a few tricky sections to the Col de Conode (GR®94B). The circular route finally ends with the descent on the D7 track from Conode.
Mèfi1: the crossing between the Col de Matacharre and the Col de Conode includes three tricky crossings of schistose ravines and scree slopes, some of which are quite exposed. This part of the route requires you to be accustomed to this type of terrain andto remain cautious.
