Villar-Saint-Pancrace walks

A very pleasant walk to discover the chapels of the commune of Puy-Saint-Pierre above Briançon.

A route away from the crowds, leading to one of the most beautiful larch forests and a ridge offering a stunning panoramic view stretching from the Écrins and the Briançonnais region all the way to the Aiguilles d’Arves. Navigation here is made easier by the Visorando app.

Loop starting from Pierre Feu. This circuit will take you to the chapels and hamlets around Puy-Saint-André, sundials and the "Décoiffées" fairy chimneys. An easy circuit, except for the descent to Pierre Feu, which has a few sections where you need to take care not to slip.

Visit a chapel overlooking Briançon, offering remarkable views of the Durance valley.

In the footsteps of the military constructions of the Briançonnais region.

A walk through the land of owls painted on the pebbles of the Durance by the pupils of the Saint-Martin-de-Queyrières primary school.

This is a very interesting circular route for visiting the Poët Morand chalets, which offer remarkable views of two of the old Briançon forts: Infernet to the north and Grand Maye to the south.

An easy hike between Vauban fortifications and the turquoise waters of Lake Pont Baldy.

Visit a sentry fort overlooking the five Briançon valleys.

An easy family hike. Caution in the mountains: children must be supervised at all times due to the presence of ravines. Round trip route in the Vauban city of Briançon. Numerous viewpoints and historical sites of great interest.

Briançon and the surrounding valleys are full of canals, which are a boon to farmers and gardeners. The Canal des Queyrelles irrigates the land overlooking the Guisane and Durance rivers and, in dry, hot weather, offers a pleasant walk in the shade of the forest.

A beautiful hike starting from the centre of Briançon, offering magnificent views of the town, the valley and the famous glaciers of the Écrins massif.

A very pleasant walk along the banks of the Guisane canals.

For those who love aerial views, the Croix de Toulouse offers a spectacular view of Briançon.

A fine walk with two passes and some very beautiful scenery. Swimming available.

A trail hike offering spectacular views of the surrounding ridges and peaks, as well as the Briançonnais and the Cerces as far as the Aiguilles d’Arves. I recommend supplementing the route description by using the Visorando app.

An easy walk through the Swiss pine forest of Bois des Ayes above Villar-Saint-Pancrace.
