Super Devoluy walks

This is a circular walk with no real difficulties except for the steep climb between small pass du Tat and the summit of Crête des Baumes. You can enjoy magnificent scenery for almost the entire hike.

Pic de Bure, one of the three giants of Dévoluy, is technically the most accessible but includes a section with a cable. You will arrive in a lunar landscape, among the observatory's satellite dishes. In good weather, the view is extraordinary. There may be a few herds on the plateau. A more recent route also offers the option of starting from the Joue du Loup resort.

Sometimes you don’t need to climb very high to gain altitude: the Crête des Baumes, which overlooks the resorts of Super-Dévoluy and La Joue du Loup, offers 360° views across the whole of the Dévoluy and its mountainous ramparts. This is a short walk perfect for a rest day, for example, between two longer hikes.

This pleasant circular route starting from the Superdévoluy resort is ideal for a family outing. It offers beautiful panoramic views throughout the route. Halfway along, a designated viewing point provides a chance to admire the Gorges des Étroits, the village of Saint-Étienne-en-Dévoluy and the Faraut mountain. Short, easy and accessible to all-terrain pushchairs, it follows wide paths with no technical difficulties (apart from the optional climb to the summit of Le Puy). The route is also well-suited to those new to mountain biking, thanks to its gentle gradient and smooth terrain. In winter, it also makes for a pleasant snowshoe walk, snow conditions permitting.
