Méolans-Revel walks

This is a short walk, the main purpose of which is to admire the surrounding mountains, including the Tête de Louis XVI. The village's municipal bread oven, still used by the villagers, bears witness to a time when Rioclar was isolated from the valley.

One of the heads of Louis XVI, still solid, however.

This route allows you to discover the famous Eaux Tortes site starting from the Vallon du Laverq.

A beautiful climb to the mountain pastures and the three lakes of Col Bas through a beautiful forest of larch and Swiss pine trees. IMPORTANT: This hike crosses an area with wetlands that are rich in biodiversity but very fragile and subject to three levels of protection (APPB, ENS, Natura 2000). It is therefore important to preserve them by refraining from crossing them, particularly between Lac du Milieu and Lac Noir, where you must take care to follow the marked trail. Reminder: it is forbidden to light fires, swim in the lakes or camp near the wetlands. Dogs must be kept on a leash. In addition, a chairlift from Montclar arrives at Lac Noir, bringing dozens of walkers to the immediate vicinity of the lake. If you like peace and quiet, it is advisable to avoid the days when this chairlift is in operation. You can find the opening days on the Montclar town hall website or on the "Montclar Domaine Skiable" website.

The unfinished railway project at the beginning of the 20th century left behind some beautiful viaducts and tunnels that are ideal for an unusual hike. The return journey can be made via theGRP® Tour du Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This is an original hike that winds its way through hamlets and abandoned farms, ending in the inhabited hamlets of the commune of Lauzet. Finally, you cross the famous Roman bridge over the Ubaye Gorges.

Site classified by decree of 9 January 1939.Facing the Pas-de-la-Tour ravine, in the heart of a magnificent mountain environment, this natural curiosity is clearly visible from the road at the bottom of the valley.

A good walk to work up an appetite! Set off from Pra Loup to the La Dalle en Pente restaurant and return via the Chappe chairlift.

Hike starting from La Frache, a hamlet above Saint-Pons and Barcelonnette. This is a very pretty hike with beautiful views, but it is not recommended in bad weather.Moderator's rating: difficult, between (9) and (10), see reviews

A very pleasant circular above Les Orres resort, allowing you to discover a beautiful lake, Sainte-Marguerite, and the springs that feed Les Orres, named Jerusalem.

If you are in the Serre Ponçon area, this hike is well worth the climb. You will walk through a very quiet valley that is rarely visited, even in the height of summer, inhabited only by marmots and a few chamois, and hundreds of alpine flowers of all kinds in July! There is an impressive view of Serre-Ponçon once you reach the pass.

This lovely, easy walk will take you to a very alpine setting in just a few dozen minutes from the car park. The climb to Lac Noir is gentle and the scenery is very pleasant. You then reach Dormillouse at 2,505 metres, the highest point of the walk, after a steep but easy climb. There is a splendid view from the fort at the summit and the return journey is via the spectacular military path overlooking the Blanche valley.

The summit of the Estrop massif at an altitude of 2,961 metres.

A lovely loop walk, fairly well shaded, but still offering numerous views along most of the route. The view from the summit is remarkable.

On 24 March 2015, 150 people lost their lives on the border between Vernet and Prads when a flight from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed. This memorial walk or pilgrimage will take you close to the site of the disaster, where you can pay your respects at the memorial that has been erected at the exact spot where the plane crashed.

A lovely tour that allows us to discover the villages of yesteryear and their enchanting surroundings. There is also a small restored church where you can even camp. A real break is on the cards!

The walk begins with a stroll through a beautiful forest and ends with a splendid view of Lake Serre Ponçon.

A charming little loop hike combining wooded passages, stony paths and panoramic ridges. Some sections may be daunting for those prone to vertigo, but the route is well worth the effort: breathtaking views of Lake Serre-Ponçon, the Ubaye, the Durance, the bay of Saint-Michel, Morgon and Morgonnet, as well as the entire surrounding mountain range, from Les Chabrières to Mont Guillaume. And to round off the walk in style, a stop at the small chapel, carefully restored by the Rimachays association, is a must. A true moment of serenity in the heart of nature.

A lovely little walk, almost entirely flat, which will take you from the shores of Lake Serre-Ponçon to the foot of the Embrun cliff. Views of the lake and the gardens and orchards at the foot of the cliff.

Embrun is a town located in the heart of the Durance Valley. Rich in history, it is located not far from Lake Serre-Ponçon. There is a small lake next to it. Walking around it is a pleasant stroll, with views of the surrounding mountains, including Pic de Morgon and Mont Guillaume. It is a walk that can be enjoyed with young children.

Hike in the Parpaillon massif, located at the foot of the majestic Grand Morgon, fairly wild and well shaded, with beautiful views of the Lac de Serre-Ponçon, on the Durance and Ubaye sides. Possible variations to reach the summit of Morgonnet or La Coquille.

A short, easy family hike. Two points of interest: an art trail and, at the end, a beautiful waterfall.

A very pretty little mountain lake full of freshness.
