Around Petit Buëch via the Sentier des Bans trail

After taking the famous Sentier des Bans balcony path, we will cross the Petit Buech to return via a small balcony path on the other side before reaching Rabou via a small Roman bridge.
There are a few tricky sections on the balconies, especially on the way back. This is where the difficulty lies. Not suitable for those who are afraid of heights.
The Bans trail starting from Rabou

Very beautiful hike on the Bans trail to the old village of Chaudun
The Charance Gap and the Col de la Côte Gelée loop
Climb up to the breach to enjoy the view from the ridges of the Charance mountain (including the Col and Tête de Guizière), before descending via the Col de la Côte Gelée. Although most of the climb is through forest, the ridges and descent are more exposed to the sun.
The Odyssey Tour via the Brèche de Charance and the Col de Guizière

Climb up to the Brèche de Charance to enjoy the panoramic view from the ridge to the Col de Guizière, then descend through the forest. An ideal route for the summer months, just above the town of Gap.
The Pic de Charance

Starting from Charance, the climb up the breach and to the peak offers breathtaking views of the Gapençais basin, the Durance valley and the Pic de Bure.
The Pic de Gleize

From the Col de Gleize, climb towards the Pic de Gleize, then descend towards the ruins of the village of Chaudun and climb back up to the Col de Gleize.
The Pic de Gleize (long loop via the Chaudun circular trail)
A climb to the Pic de Gleize from the pass of the same name and a descent via the Chaudun circular trail to enjoy a beautiful route with little elevation gain but lots of rockfall.
La Roche-des-Arnauds: the Bishops' circuit

The Circuit des Évêques (named after a place you will pass near) is a very popular route in La Roche-des-Arnauds. It will allow you to discover the cable bridge and the Corréo plateau with interesting views of the Tête de Clappe, the Pic de Bure and the Pic de Ceüze.
This circuit is also selected as a mountain bike circuit.
The Buzon Viaduct

This rural and exotic circuit, on the outskirts of the town, takes you to the Buzon Viaduct. A short and easy walk that can be done with young children.
The summit of Coste Belle from the Laye station

Climb one of the Champsaur peaks from the Laye ski resort, enjoying the cool forest, rocky ravines and earthy slopes. The initial loop gives way to a round-trip climb. The final section is on a beautiful ridge with steep slopes on either side.
The Pic de Bure via the Combe d'Aurouze and the Combe de Mai

The Dévoluy massif offers a contrast of colours between the pure blue of the sky and the ochre of the rocks in its trilogy of peaks (Obiou, Grand Ferrand, Pic de Bure).
Correction: the elevation gain is around 1,300 metres
Loop between Treschâtel and Rambaud via the Bellevue farm
An unpretentious loop in the Gapençais region, starting from the hamlet of Treschâtel and passing through the village of Rambaud, along footpaths, tracks and small roads. Not a very shaded route, ideal for a short walk during the cold season.
Notre-Dame de Bois Vert - Les Farelles, via Clot de Ventecul

A walk in the Notre-Dame de Bois-Vert forest, on the mountainside with a magnificent view of the Champsaur valley and its typical bocage landscape.The Notre-Dame de Bois-Vert sanctuary is a true haven of peace!
The Tour de la Montagne de Ceüse

A remarkable circuit on the Ceüse mountain.
The Cristayes ridges

Between marlstone and forests, a hike to the south of Gap.
Col de Chétives and Cabane des Pierres from the Chapelle Saint-Étienne
This route takes you from vegetation (the first part is through a beautiful coniferous forest) to rock (the final ascent is over scree). At the pass, you look out over the Cirque de Chaudun (south side) where the Petit Buëch river has its source, but although you can see Ceuze, the view is mainly towards the Écrins peaks.
