Uvernet-Fours walks

A good walk to work up an appetite! Set off from Pra Loup to the La Dalle en Pente restaurant and return via the Chappe chairlift.

Hike starting from La Frache, a hamlet above Saint-Pons and Barcelonnette. This is a very pretty hike with beautiful views, but it is not recommended in bad weather.Moderator's rating: difficult, between (9) and (10), see reviews

A circular hike to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Ubaye Valley, ascending via the magnificent western path and descending via the eastern path. ⚠️ Please read the practical information carefully before undertaking this hike.

A walk in the hills above Faucon-de-Barcelonnette offering views of the valley’s peaks: Grande Séolane, Chapeau de Gendarme, Croix de l’Alpe... The walk is mainly along a small tarmac road. A footpath allows you to shorten the road sections. We walked after snowfall and chose to be cautious, i.e. we took the road. The snow made the landscape even more beautiful.

This lovely route offers superb views of the Ubaye Valley, the Pain de Sucre and the Chapeau de Gendarme. A mix of woodland and meadows, and a hidden wetland area off the path. Moderator’s note : reviews of this hike suggest that a GPS device or the Visorando app may be useful Warning! Changing vegetation and the lack of signposting make this walk unpredictable if you do not feel confident navigating terrain that is sometimes difficult and off-trail. Rely on your eyes (traces of previous passage, topography), a 1:25,000 map (which will give you a larger viewing area than a GPS screen) and your GPS (to know where you are and how to orient your map).

Climb to the summit of Rochegrand, with magnificent views of the Allos valley and the surrounding peaks.

A magnificent hike offering a 360° panoramic view of the Haut Verdon valley at the end of the walk.

This beautiful alpine walk will take you through a beautiful, uncrowded valley, along a path that is sometimes steep. Cliffs, torrents, waterfalls, and perhaps the chance to see a mountain goat.

A lovely walk, best done when the larch trees turn yellow and ochre. It is very varied with a well-marked path and presents no major difficulty. The only slightly tricky section is the crossing of the Riou de la Saume, a small log bridge without a railing.

A beautiful hike in a wild environment, with no technical difficulties despite 50% of the route being off-trail. Orientation is not a problem either, despite the few cairns along the route; just follow the contours of the terrain and the streams at the edge of the meadows.The Visorando app may be useful.

This hike in the Grande Cayolle, which is part of the heart of the Mercantour massif, is not difficult. It offers varied landscapes ranging from forest to mountain pastures, then to the mineral world of the north face of Mont Pelat and the surrounding ridges.

A superb hike in the Mercantour National Park, with a beautiful ridge leading to a summit over 3,000 metres high. Le Cimet, neighbouring Le Pelat and about thirty metres lower, offers a magnificent panorama on a clear day. The hike starts from the Vieux Brec bridge on the Col de la Cayolle road.

A climb to a pass, followed by a descent of roughly the same length, with two beautiful lakes to admire. This walk also gives you the chance to compare the two sides of the mountain, which are quite different.

A beautiful day's hike. Varied landscapes, snowfields, scree, lakes, marmots, chamois, everything you need to have a good time. Please note that you will be hiking in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. Be sure to comply with the regulations in force.

A very accessible 3,000-metre peak with magnificent views of Lac d'Allos and a 360° panorama. The hike is superb, with lakes, marmots and chamois along the route.
