About
Trail Walking of 9.6 km to be discovered at Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Hautes-Alpes, Manteyer. This trail is proposed by Camping Les Rives du Lac.
Description
The cliff of Céüse offers one of the most beautiful views of the Alps. Begin the hike by heading west so that the sun does not dazzle you. You can admire the Vercors, then Mont Ventoux, Durance, Ubaye, Italy and Queyras, the Ecrins and the Pic de Bure! This hike is long but only the start is a bit steep. Then it's mostly a long walk on the flat. It can be shortened once on the big plateau, without going to Pic de Céüze. After the passage to "La Manche", you will arrive on a small plateau where there are very often marmots

Rando plus que splendide, des panoramas à couper le souffle
Awesome trail with the most beautiful views you can dream of!
Probably the most beautiful walk I have done in this region so far! Nice changes between lush grassland with wild raspberries and flowers in the high plains and stunning 360 views over Dévoluy, Ecrins and Baronnies from the cliffs. Mostly pretty flat and easy to walk with some steeper climb/descent at the start/end. The starting point is a bit difficult to find: Park your car one turn below the skiing station, enter forest track a little above (briefly ignoring the complaints of your GPS), find the skiing lift track (back on the GPS trail) and follow it almost all the way up. At the end, the GPS trail will lead you cross-country down a long grass slope, a bit steeper and more demanding in some parts. Can probably be avoided by crossing over to the other side of the valley at the top of the ski lift and following the narrow track down to the skiing station. Enjoy!
