Departure from Réotier (Hautes-Alpes)
Roche Charnière is a peak visible from all over the Durance valley between Eyglier and La Roche-de-Rame. It’s very tempting to climb up and have a look. Once at the top, a breathtaking panorama awaits you. The Écrins, the Queyras, the Guillestrois, the Durance Valley, the Tête de Gaulent, the Tête de Vautisse, the Viso… I’ll stop there, but it’s up to you to continue and feast your eyes.
