Embed this item to access it offline

This stage begins in Izon-la-Bruisse and takes hikers along the Chabre ridge, an iconic spot on this trail renowned for paragliding. It offers an exceptional 360° panoramic view of the surrounding mountain ranges (Les Ecrins, Les Baronnies, Le Buëch, Le Dévoluy, and others). From Col Saint Jean to Col de St-Ange, the trail runs mostly along the ridge. The final section of the route, which is quite rugged and often through the forest, leads to Orpierre via a winding but pleasant descent with a panoramic view of its famous cliffs.
