A lovely ridge walk suitable for anyone who isn’t put off by a hike that’s mainly off-trail. On the Chauvet ridge, the route along the very edge is sometimes a little dizzying and steep. However, it’s always easy to avoid the difficult sections by keeping slightly to the left of the ridge.

Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94.
For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route.
This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking.
The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.
