Walks near Pic des Ruines de Luvie (1865 m)
Plateau and Pic de Bure via the Joue du Loup chairlift
The easiest route to explore the Bure massif in summer, ascending via the ski resort’s chairlifts (open one day a week in July and August only). The plateau offers a lunar landscape with the observatory’s satellite dishes, and in clear weather, the view from the Pic de Bure is extraordinary.
The route is described here starting from La Joue du Loup, but there is a similar route starting from SuperDévoluy. Please note: this route is only accessible during the summer opening period of the ski lifts!
Col des Aiguilles - Return circular via Le Chauvet
Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94.
For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route.
This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking.
The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.
Up the Gap Canal: from Pont de Frappe to Les Ricous
A lovely, idyllic walk with virtually no elevation gain, easy and shaded. Ideal for families. You can walk part of the route and turn back, or tackle it in short sections. Of course, it’s possible to do this walk in the opposite direction.
The canal is always covered, so you can’t see the water.
Please note that between the start and point 2 there is a steep descent through the woods.
Lachaup – Les Amayères
Through the Charnier valley at the foot of the Grand Ferrand, then via Pointe Feuillette, the final stage of this route.
From Chaillol 1600 to Chantaussel
A short walk, with very little uphill climb and no difficulty, starting from Chaillol 1600 to the hamlet of Chantaussel (municipality of Saint-Julien-en-Champsaur).
Round-trip walk: you’ll need at least two cars.
From Col des Guérins to Tallard
A short, all-downhill stage towards the Durance valley, as far as Tallard. You can make a detour via Sigoyer and rejoin the route via the D19.
This route runs partly through woodland, with the Durance valley and the peaks of the Écrins and Ubaye massifs as a backdrop. A glimpse of Montagne Saint Maurice above Valserres, a stage on the ITAC route.
