A good walk to work up an appetite! Set off from Pra Loup to the La Dalle en Pente restaurant and return via the Chappe chairlift.

A lovely circular alpine hike starting from the Super-Sauze ski resort, with an ascent of the Chapeau de Gendarme.

A round trip to this promontory offers a unique view of the entire Ubaye Valley, from the bell tower of Méolans-Revel to the Pas de la Reyssole. Please note: at (5), the markings become difficult to read and the passage itself is technical.

This is a short walk, the main purpose of which is to admire the surrounding mountains, including the Tête de Louis XVI. The village's municipal bread oven, still used by the villagers, bears witness to a time when Rioclar was isolated from the valley.

An easy route around the Torrent des Arnauds with breathtaking views.

This hike offers beautiful views of Jausiers and the iconic peaks of the Ubaye Valley (Chapeau de Gendarme, Massif des Séolanes). This hike is not particularly difficult, despite a few steep ascents and descents and some exposed sections. (see practical information section) Much of the hike takes place in the forest. You will also cross former agricultural areas. You will pass in front of the Château des Magnans, an architectural curiosity in Jausiers. Beware of rockfalls and a tricky passage between (4) and (:5). Read the reviews for an alternative route.

Climb to the summit of Rochegrand, with magnificent views of the Allos valley and the surrounding peaks.

Discover the Parpaillon valley and the Chapelle Saint-Anne la Condamine chapel.

This beautiful alpine walk will take you through a beautiful, uncrowded valley, along a path that is sometimes steep. Cliffs, torrents, waterfalls, and perhaps the chance to see a mountain goat.

A very pleasant circular above Les Orres resort, allowing you to discover a beautiful lake, Sainte-Marguerite, and the springs that feed Les Orres, named Jerusalem.

If you are in the Serre Ponçon area, this hike is well worth the climb. You will walk through a very quiet valley that is rarely visited, even in the height of summer, inhabited only by marmots and a few chamois, and hundreds of alpine flowers of all kinds in July! There is an impressive view of Serre-Ponçon once you reach the pass.

This is a short hike, but it can be challenging in places, especially towards the end. Come on, let's go; enjoy the walk... A beautiful waterfall to cool off in summer.

A beautiful hike in a wild environment, with no technical difficulties despite 50% of the route being off-trail. Orientation is not a problem either, despite the few cairns along the route; just follow the contours of the terrain and the streams at the edge of the meadows.The Visorando app may be useful.

Starting from the village of Tournoux, hike to discover the upper military remains of Fort de Tournoux: the Fort des Corres battery, the Serre de l'Aut fort, the observation post and the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Chapel, via a ridge trail with remarkable views.
