Veynes walks

A magnificent circular route passing through three passes with Mediterranean vegetation. Sheltered from the wind and well exposed to the sun, this hike allows you to discover the heights of Veynes with beautiful views of the Buëch valley, even if some aerial passages can be impressive at the edge of ravines. It gives a good overview of the Veynois National Forest and the complex relief of the Buëch mountains. Starting from the small town of Veynes, this hike is easily accessible without a car!

Starting from the Veynes lake, this circular loop climbs and circles the Eygaux plateau. Accessible for much of the year, it offers beautiful views of the Val d’Oze and the surrounding mountains. The Eygau de Véras site offers sports trails (mountain biking, running, hiking), which is a good complement to the Iscles lake leisure centre.

Hike around Furmeyer, best done in May or June, but can be done in any season. This trail combines botany and landscapes.

Located in the natural site of the Gorges d'Agnielles, the cliff trail winds its way along panoramic ledges accessible by stairs that cross rocky outcrops, offering magnificent views from two lookout points. Equipped with interpretive panels, this trail is accessible by a staircase suspended from the cliff and crosses the cave with five entrances. The trail is easy except for those who are apprehensive about steep paths.

When the high passes and peaks of the Dévoluy are covered in snow, this is a pleasant hike that presents few difficulties and takes place in beautiful surroundings.

A circular route that passes by a summit offering panoramic views of Buëch, Dévoluy, and Gapençais, all starting from a picturesque little village: a very promising itinerary.

A short family hike in the Montmaur plain.

A lovely, very pleasant walk, quite varied, without difficulty and well marked. You can enjoy beautiful scenery for most of the route.

This is a half-day hike, either on foot or with snowshoes. Almost the entire route is through forest with clearings to enjoy the scenery and finish the climb to the Pertuis, which can be visited with a good torch. The return is via another pleasant path.

A remarkable circuit on the Ceüse mountain.

A short walk to discover the proudly standing keep of La Rochette.The route mainly follows tracks and paths, with the exception of the access to the second arch, which is via a sloping ledge requiring you to nimbly weave your way through a forest of box trees and climb up a rocky ledge with a few movements similar to rock climbing.

The Dévoluy massif offers a contrast of colours between the pure blue of the sky and the ochre of the rocks in its trilogy of peaks (Obiou, Grand Ferrand, Pic de Bure). Correction: the elevation gain is around 1,300 metres

1 November 2025: a user reports => this concerns the route between the wps (6), (7), and (8).Geoportal (Biotope protection decrees) (!) WARNING (!) This hike crosses the perimeter of the prefectural decree for the protection of the Plateau de Bure biotope, in which it is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to leave the marked trails, under penalty of a 4th class fine of €750. For the time being, the agents of the French Office for Biodiversity, responsible for enforcing this decree, are taking a preventive approach, but they will surely soon move on to enforcement. Access to the Plateau de Bure off the beaten track. This alpine hike via the Pas de Paul offers an unusual and wild setting, through devolved steps, vertical corridors marked by large staircases. This variant allows you to reach the westernmost peaks of the Bure plateau, the Tête des Pras Arnaud and the Tête de la Cluse, before the Pic de Bure.

A classic PR® marked trail, located mainly in the Sauvas National Forest, above La Roche des Arnauds. The route descends from the Maison Forestière de Matacharre to the Ravin du Rif de l'Arc, climbs back up to the Col de Matacharre via the forest road through Le Pinet, then follows a GRP® trail with a few tricky sections to the Col de Conode (GR®94B). The circular route finally ends with the descent on the D7 track from Conode. Mèfi1: the crossing between the Col de Matacharre and the Col de Conode includes three tricky crossings of schistose ravines and scree slopes, some of which are quite exposed. This part of the route requires you to be accustomed to this type of terrain andto remain cautious.

This hike is first and foremost an opportunity to discover a little-known heritage and practice of forestry, namely cable transport. This ancient practice dates back to the 1930s and has been partially restored by Mr Pierre Para. The "cabrette" is the common name given to the pylon that supports the cable. Of course, throughout the hike, the view of the south face of the Pic de Bure and its east pillar (opened by René Desmaison in three days in September 1961) will be remarkable.

This short hike offers panoramic views of the Gap valley and, above all, the Céüse mountain.

A short hike in Beauchêne through boxwood and beech woods under the Ranc de Mianoux towards the old Chartreuse de Durbon.

A unique circular hike around the Ranc de Mianou via its southern slope and a trail not shown on IGN maps. What's more, it offers magnificent views and landscapes throughout the route, from the long ridge between La Penne to the westernmost point of Ranc de Mianoux. The entire route is covered in a circular manner.

A circular route starting from Saint-Julien-en-Beauchêne, following the GRP® Tour du Buëch and the GR®94 to the charming hamlet of Vaunières, passing through peaceful landscapes with beautiful mid-mountain panoramas. Be careful! As the path between Fontarasse and Chemin de Vaunières is closed, you will need to take the small tarmac road "Chemin de Vaunières" instead of the Fontarasse path.

A circular route starting from Saint-Julien-en-Beauchêne, mainly on the GRP® Tour du Buëch Variant, around the small summit of Piarards which overlooks the Grand Buëch valley. After a gradual climb through the Durbon forest, the return route passes through the Col de la Bécha to descend to the hamlet of Baumugne, made famous by Jean Giono's novel "Un de Baumugnes".
