Monêtier-Allemont walks

Magnificent viewpoint above the Val de Durance with a 360° view from the summit.

Hike above Claret, on the border between the Alpes de Provence and the Hautes-Alpes.

A varied route featuring a beautiful forest and a flower-filled ridge offering a magnificent 360° panorama.

A varied hike visiting the villages of La Saulce, Lardier and Valença, crossing the vast forests of the Bois de la Pinée. The highlight is the view from Sainte-Croix, a true promontory overlooking the Durance valley.

A pleasant short hike, with the second part along the ridges above the ravines making for an enjoyable route.

La Petite Céüse, a summit well known to walkers, takes on a whole new dimension when approached from the hamlet of Les Combes, with some unusual sections.

A spring walk with panoramic views of the Montagne d’Aujour and the Ceüse cliff, all the way to Bure and the old village of Chaillol!

This hike has two contrasting sections: the start and the end take place on trails and pastoral tracks, which lend themselves to daydreaming. Crossing the ridges becomes technical (without major difficulties) as you approach the summit of Jalinier, with no real path but a passage open in the vegetation and the rocky ridge of the summit. With an unexpected exit to pass the summit bastion. See practical information regarding the final section of the Jalinier summit.

Very pretty summit with a 360° view. From Mont Ventoux to the Écrins and from Dévoluy to the Monges massif. The route is varied, with very little tarmac, forest tracks and trails. The climb is very pleasant among the oak and box trees.

A lovely walk, offering great variety in terms of scenery and the paths taken, where you are regularly treated to lovely views of the Saint-Genis mountain, the Lure mountain, Lake Lazer with the Ubaye in the background, or the Écrins.

This short hike offers panoramic views of the Gap valley and, above all, the Céüse mountain.

Just a stone’s throw from the Montagne de Céüse and its famous limestone cliffs, the Petite Céüse offers a magnificent view of the cliff, the Gap basin and the peaks of the Écrins.

This loop runs along much of the foot of the Céüze cliff, then reaches the summit via the Pas du Loup before descending along the ridges.

This family walk crosses the hill of Saint-Abdon, on the northern edge of which Tallard Castle was built, following the ridge. Please note that some sections run alongside the cliff. It offers magnificent views over the Durance valley, the Montagne de Céüse and the Pic de Bure. The return route takes you across the plain, on the Durance side, past orchards, vineyards and allotments.

A pleasant circular walk that allows you to visit the beautiful hilltop village of Upaix from Laragne. A fairly shaded route that nevertheless offers some very pretty views.

Loop above Tallard via Ville Vieille, which was the old village.

Circular loop above Tallard, mostly through pine forest.

A lovely, very pleasant walk, quite varied, without difficulty and well marked. You can enjoy beautiful scenery for most of the route.

In this spot, situated at the bottom of a closed cirque, the Trompes du Faï, nestled in the grass, amplify the music played there: an impressive natural organ that uses the cliffs and, through a cathedral-like effect, fills the entire valley.

Starting from the village of Le Saix, this circular route offers a complete immersion in unspoilt nature. The route combines wild trails, arid valleys and superb Alpine panoramas.You’ll first walk through the heart of the Gouravour Gorges, a true geological wonder, then pass beneath the famous Trompes du Faï before reaching the ruins of Clausonne Abbey, a haven of tranquillity nestled in a mountainous setting. The return journey takes you via the Col de Combe Escure. Amidst ancient ruins, peaceful mountain pastures and majestic landscapes, this hike blends history, nature and unique atmospheres. And, with a bit of luck, the mountains themselves will treat you to their song…

Setting off from the village of Le Saix is an alternative to starting from Veynes station. This stage leads to Lake Peyssier and continues the trek. It offers a variety of attractions: a ridge walk, a bird’s-eye view of the Gouravour Gorge, unique views of the Buëch Valley and the Dévoluy massif, a walk through the former hamlet of La Péguière, a visit to the site of Clausonne Abbey and a walk across the Peyssier plateau. An easier alternative route to reach Lake Peyssier is via the forest track from the village of Le Saix, passing through the Gouravour Gorge; it takes 1 hour to climb to Clausonne Abbey.
