Departure from Allons (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A magnificent hike with no great technical difficulty, apart from the 1,000 m elevation gain and a distance of over 17 km. The ascent is gradual through a magnificent larch forest. At the summit, a 360° panorama awaits you. Breathtaking views at an altitude of nearly 2,000 metres over the Mercantour: the Grand Coyer, the Mole, the Pic de Chamatte, the Cheval Blanc, the Montagne de Cordeil and the Estrop in the distance, to name the most important. In spring, the flora is in full bloom.

This allows you to use the ‘Train des Pignes’ as a means of exploring the area whilst hiking, by changing valleys. The route runs partly through former farmland and partly through mixed woodland (with remarkable trees during the descent towards Fugeret).
Three sections, three landscapes:1/ from the station to the village of Allons,2/ from the village to La Basse d’Annot,3/ from the ridge to Fugeret station.

Departure from Saint-Benoît (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A beautiful, challenging route that keeps you on the ridgelines. The C-shaped configuration of the Var means that throughout this ascent you can admire the river’s banks on both the north and south sides. At the end of the hike, wander through the narrow streets lined with old walls in this magnificent village.
