VT 23 - ITINERAIRES Pedestres sportives

Just like the pilgrims of Saint John the Baptist who follow this
trail every year in June, you will reach the Saint-Jean du
Désert chapel located on the old road between Entrevaux and
Castellane. This chapel is likely to have been built by the Knights
Templar to offer hospitality to travelers and to help them find
their way

At the northern end of the Barre des Dourbes, the summit of Couar rises to almost 2,000m. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Ecrins and the Dévoluy massif!

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.

Follow in the footsteps of the Romans along the ancient Roman road to the Château de Castellet-Saint-Cassien, once the summer residence of the Lords of Glandèves d’Entrevaux.

This pass, at the foot of the imposing Cheval Blanc mountain, is a historic crossing point between the valleys. To reach it, a tunnel was carved out of the clue de la Peine using picks and blasting.

Cet itinéraire passe, notamment, par le col de Plein Voir et celui de l’Âne, vous offrant de beaux points de vues sur la fin des Gorges du Verdon et le lac de Sainte-Croix. Il est souvent utilisé lors des itinérances pédestres de plusieurs jours…

A sporty hike that crosses the commune of Val de Chavagne to take you to the village of Amirat after passing the Col du Buis.

The path passes through a forest of ancient fir trees before leading into the Sapée meadow, offering a magnificent panorama.

Cet itinéraire passe, notamment, par le plateau de Suëch, le hameau de Chasteuil, vous offrant de beaux points de vues. Il est souvent utilisé lors des itinérances pédestres de plusieurs jours.

Another itinerary takes you to Chapelle Saint Jean du Désert. Right from the start, you can discover the Château de Villevieille, then follow a ridge line to admire the panoramic view over the Ubraye valley and the Bernarde summit.
