At the summit, a breathtaking 360° view of the Verdon relief and the Digne Pre-Alps, with the peaks of the Ecrins and Mercantour massifs silhouetted against the horizon.
This trail starts at the picturesque hamlet of La Valette, in the commune of Thorame-Basse. Once there, turn right onto the forest track which takes you across the Issole torrent via a ford.
Contrast the overheated garrigue of the Verdon with the cool, shady forest of the Barbin ubac, and you’ll be walking through a wild and grandiose landscape.
Through the hills, this hike links the villages of Senez and Blieux (fine views over the Asse de Blieux valley) and follows in the footsteps of the historic route taken by Napoleon in 1815 between Castellane and Digne les Bains.
Panoramic view of the entire Haut-Verdon region
This ancient path linking Blieux to Chasteuil leads to Colle Basse, overlooking the Verdon valley at 1446 m.
With its 360° panoramic view, the summit of Le Laupon offers a magnificent panorama of the region’s landscapes.
A longer variant of the Chapelle Saint-Pierre itinerary, it also takes in the hamlets of La Sagne, in the Alpes Maritimes, and Les Colettes. The latter, still inhabited, is only accessible on foot.
Départ de la Maison de Pays de Beauvezer, où vous pouvez acheter des produits locaux de la haute vallée du Verdon. Dirigez vous vers la place de la chapelle Notre-Dame.
From the Serres crest, you can see the Mercantour Massif to the east, and beyond it the closer massifs (Grand Coyer…), with the Pic de Chamatte at the end of the crest. A natural forest of beech and Scots pine grows beneath the pastures.
