Savournon walks

The climb to Pic de l'Aigle is steep, but the view over the plains of La Batie Monsaléon and Savournon, as well as the surrounding peaks, Rocher de Beaumont, Arambre and Grand Ferrand, etc., is well worth the effort.

A varied loop in the Baronnies Provençales, which runs through pretty gorges and then to a summit with beautiful panoramic views.

The Riou gorges and their numerous pools offer a remarkable natural spectacle and a pleasant way to cool off. And as you approach the Jubéo pass, you might think you're on the road to the explosive film "The Wages of Fear".

A lovely walk offering great variety in terms of the surroundings and the paths taken: marl, cliffs, forest, viewpoints and steep riverbanks.

Discover the historical heritage of Serres, with views of the Buëch valley.The trail winds its way up to the Fontarache ridge and descends in stages to the village.

Discover the Serrois region and its varied landscapes. From the Serres ridges to the cliffs of Sigottier, from the forest to the black earth of La Montagne, and from the traditional villages to the mountain pastures, the trail will allow you to appreciate the diversity of the landscapes surrounding this pretty medieval village dotted with “soustets” (covered walkways).

Set off in style on this revisited Tour des Baronnies. Throughout the morning, the narrow path winds along the ridges overlooking Serres, winding its way between beautiful rocks and twisted Scots pines. At Serre de la Bouisse, the view of the Baronnies and the Alpine peaks is breathtaking. Then, between the bucolic Col d'Arron and the finish, the path progresses delightfully, like a balcony, under the Montagne de l'Aup. Finally, the Praboyer lodge is located in the heart of nature.

This circular route, starting from the charming medieval town of Serres, accessible by train, gives pride of place to the ridges and peaks of the massif. Between the Hautes-Alpes and Drôme, each day offers spectacular views and aerial trails, without any major technical difficulties. Small Provençal villages, perfectly integrated into the landscape, punctuate this particularly wild and uncrowded route. Between lively and diverse forests, golden pastures, lavender fields and prominent limestone rocks, this part of the Baronnies, with its strong rural and mountainous character, offers exceptional panoramic views of the Southern Alps and the nearby Provençal peaks every day.

A lovely, very pleasant walk, quite varied, without difficulty and well marked. You can enjoy beautiful scenery for most of the route.

From Vieux Serres under the Rocher de la Pignolette, via the Crêtes de Fontarache, the Rocher de Jardane and the Crêtes de la Bouisse: a beautiful hike through sharp limestone pavement and boxwood.

Setting off from the village of Le Saix is an alternative to starting from Veynes station. This stage leads to Lake Peyssier and continues the trek. It offers a variety of attractions: a ridge walk, a bird’s-eye view of the Gouravour Gorge, unique views of the Buëch Valley and the Dévoluy massif, a walk through the former hamlet of La Péguière, a visit to the site of Clausonne Abbey and a walk across the Peyssier plateau. An easier alternative route to reach Lake Peyssier is via the forest track from the village of Le Saix, passing through the Gouravour Gorge; it takes 1 hour to climb to Clausonne Abbey.

In this spot, situated at the bottom of a closed cirque, the Trompes du Faï, nestled in the grass, amplify the music played there: an impressive natural organ that uses the cliffs and, through a cathedral-like effect, fills the entire valley.

Starting from the village of Le Saix, this circular route offers a complete immersion in unspoilt nature. The route combines wild trails, arid valleys and superb Alpine panoramas.You’ll first walk through the heart of the Gouravour Gorges, a true geological wonder, then pass beneath the famous Trompes du Faï before reaching the ruins of Clausonne Abbey, a haven of tranquillity nestled in a mountainous setting. The return journey takes you via the Col de Combe Escure. Amidst ancient ruins, peaceful mountain pastures and majestic landscapes, this hike blends history, nature and unique atmospheres. And, with a bit of luck, the mountains themselves will treat you to their song…

A short circular walk suitable for families, easy and mostly in the shade. The numerous trail junctions allow you to adjust the length of the walk to suit your preferences.

A pleasant short hike, with the second part along the ridges above the ravines making for an enjoyable route.

A grand finale for this revisited Tour des Baronnies. Along the ridges of Aumage and Eyglière, the peaks of Dévoluy and Écrins have never seemed so close. The Buëch Valley stretches out below us, and the 360° views allow us to retrace the path we have travelled over the last seven days: Serre de la Bouisse, Chamouse, Chabre and other peaks emerge on the horizon, bringing back fond memories.

A pleasant walk with no real difficulty provided the ground is dry. The route offers plenty of variety, taking in the banks of the Céans, the forest and then cultivated fields, whilst offering beautiful scenery. What’s more, everything is very well signposted.

A lovely walk, offering great variety in terms of scenery and the paths taken, where you are regularly treated to lovely views of the Saint-Genis mountain, the Lure mountain, Lake Lazer with the Ubaye in the background, or the Écrins.

Starting from the Veynes lake, this circular loop climbs and circles the Eygaux plateau. Accessible for much of the year, it offers beautiful views of the Val d’Oze and the surrounding mountains. The Eygau de Véras site offers sports trails (mountain biking, running, hiking), which is a good complement to the Iscles lake leisure centre.

A lovely circular walk that takes you to the top of the Bois de Saint-Apôtre, between two valleys with a beautiful view of Aspres on one side and La Faurie on the other. Most of the walk is through woodland and therefore sheltered from the heat: ideal in the height of summer.
