The ridges of Grand Puy
A fairly easy hike starting from the Grand Puy ski resort with a beautiful panorama along the ridge: from Montagne de la Blanche in the east to Les Monges in the west, via Pic de Bure.
Dormillouse loop via the Col Bas and Lac Noir
This lovely, easy walk will take you to a very alpine setting in just a few dozen minutes from the car park. The climb to Lac Noir is gentle and the scenery is very pleasant. You then reach Dormillouse at 2,505 metres, the highest point of the walk, after a steep but easy climb. There is a splendid view from the fort at the summit and the return journey is via the spectacular military path overlooking the Blanche valley.
Chabanon - Tête Grosse - Le Bressa
A magnificent mountain hike where forests, alpine pastures, rocky ridges and a 360° panorama come together.
Superb photo opportunities, especially in autumn with the rust-coloured leaves.
The route includes some dizzying passages and three steep climbs on rocky ground that can be unstable at times.
A hike steeped in nature and serenity in a mountain world apart.
The Col Bas Lakes
A beautiful climb to the mountain pastures and the three lakes of Col Bas through a beautiful forest of larch and Swiss pine trees.
IMPORTANT: This hike crosses an area with wetlands that are rich in biodiversity but very fragile and subject to three levels of protection (APPB, ENS, Natura 2000). It is therefore important to preserve them by refraining from crossing them, particularly between Lac du Milieu and Lac Noir, where you must take care to follow the marked trail.
Reminder: it is forbidden to light fires, swim in the lakes or camp near the wetlands. Dogs must be kept on a leash.
In addition, a chairlift from Montclar arrives at Lac Noir, bringing dozens of walkers to the immediate vicinity of the lake. If you like peace and quiet, it is advisable to avoid the days when this chairlift is in operation. You can find the opening days on the Montclar town hall website or on the "Montclar Domaine Skiable" website.

From Lauzet to Roche Rousse through the tunnels, following the railway line
The unfinished railway project at the beginning of the 20th century left behind some beautiful viaducts and tunnels that are ideal for an unusual hike. The return journey can be made via theGRP® Tour du Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This is an original hike that winds its way through hamlets and abandoned farms, ending in the inhabited hamlets of the commune of Lauzet. Finally, you cross the famous Roman bridge over the Ubaye Gorges.
The Costeplane Waterfalls
Site classified by decree of 9 January 1939.Facing the Pas-de-la-Tour ravine, in the heart of a magnificent mountain environment, this natural curiosity is clearly visible from the road at the bottom of the valley. These waterfalls are a popular spot for panoramic views. They can also be explored from the village of Lauzet, along pleasant country trails.
The Tour des Clues de Verdaches
Fairly easy hike around the Clues de Verdaches, deep gorges carved out of the mountain by the Bès. You will find beautiful views of the Blayeul in the first part of the hike, before overlooking the Bès on the way back (swimming possible in summer).
The Head of Louis XVI
One of the heads of Louis XVI, still solid, however.
Tour of abandoned villages
A lovely tour that allows us to discover the villages of yesteryear and their enchanting surroundings. There is also a small restored church where you can even camp. A real break is on the cards!
Col des Cloches in Barles
A beautiful hike with no particular difficulties through the mountain pastures to reach the Col des Cloches. You can continue to the summit of one of the bells.
Shorter version of a previously published hike: Les Cloches de Barbes and summit of Chine via Le Forest
Les Cloches de Barles and the summit of Chine via the Forest
Les Cloches de Barles is no piece of cake to climb! Reaching the summit is like climbing to the top of a layer cake: you have to work up a sweat to earn your cherry. But once you're up there, it's a feast for the eyes. And to get back down, hop, a little bucolic stroll in picture-postcard style, between the Cabane des Prés and the Sommet de Chine, with dancing flowers and smiling meadows. In short, a real fairy tale hiking experience!
