Cyclo n°1 - Le tour du Blayeul
IGN cards
Description
You will go up the spectacular and tortuous Bès valley, rich in geological curiosities then you will go around this emblematic mountain of the Dignois country before going back down through the Bléone valley. What a contrast between the two sides!
This 65 km loop takes you through mountain landscapes, north of Digne les Bains, to discover the geological particularities of the Geopark of Haute-Provence.
From Digne les Bains, take the road to Barles. At the edge of the town: the Promenade Museum and the Dalle aux ammonites.
Follow the direction of Barles, through the famous Clues de Barles, a breathtaking geological formation! Possibility of swimming in the Bès.
Cross Barles and continue towards Verdaches, via the clues of the same name.
Pass the Col du Labouret (2,1km at 4%) and observe the constructions: this pass marks the architectural limit between the Alps (sloping roofs) and Provence (flatter and tiled roofs).
Continue the loop through the villages of Haute Bléone: La Javie, Le Brusquet. At Marcoux, turn right and return via Clos de Jaline. The road joins the road to Barles, on which you started your route.
