Departure from Ceillac (Hautes-Alpes)
This is a very pretty, easy and enjoyable hike that takes you from green, flower-filled mountains to the arid, rocky landscapes at the end. This hike is not very popular and you may be surprised not to meet anyone for hours. It offers superb views at the end, a few metres below 3,000 metres. The last section feels like you're on the moon!
No difficulty to worry about.

Departure from Ceillac (Hautes-Alpes)
A very pretty hike starting from Ceillac, from the Bois Noirs car park.The trail begins in the heart of a magnificent larch forest, offering shade and coolness. As you progress, you will reach the superb Lac de Clausis, nestled in a wild and peaceful setting. The climb then continues towards the Tête du Rissace (or Longet). The landscape then becomes almost lunar, mineral and grandiose.At the summit, the reward is well worth the effort, with a 360° panorama offering exceptional views of Mont Blanc (in the distance), Pic de Rochebrune and the majestic Barre des Écrins.
