In the footsteps of the peasant miners of Guisane
The Briançonnais region had several hundred peasant-mines each operated by 2 to 3 people.This route lets you access two of these sites in the Guisane valley. Here you can still find remnants of these operations.It also offers stunning panoramic views of the Guisane valley and the Les Agneaux mountain. You can enjoy this in both summer and winter, with snowshoes (the southern exposure allows for rapid stabilisation of the snowpack).

The Col de Bramousse and Col de Fromage via the Col de Souillet
You'll take the Aiguillettes path up to the two major passes above Ceillac, then join the Col de Fromage via the Souillet path on the Guil valley side, on a beautiful balcony path.⚠️Caution: the Aiguillettes path crosses 3 ravines that may pose problems for some. If this is the case, you can take the GR® which starts nearby and ends at the same point. Less interesting but quieter.
