Sous le Pic de Crigne
4.5 km

Sous le Pic de Crigne

All along this short, hot and wild hike, the path overlooks the Durance valley and its orchards. During the ascent, the Mediterranean vegetation and the remarkable view offer a pleasant surrounding.The  Bec de Crigne is a Natura 2000 site for the particularly rich bird  species gathering at the cliffs (107 birds species). At the end of the small road (which quickly turns into a track) and just after the fruit farm, turn right at the crossroads where the Natura 2000 information panel is located. At the departure, the path runs along the orchards. The path then goes up through the undergrowth and crosses  the river sometimes. This old mule track, carved into the rock is climbing and winding along the face of spectacular cliffs. Several viewpoints of the Durance Valley punctuate the ascent. After a long series of bends, the track turns right under the cliff and pass a breach. Continue on the left in a pleasant undergrowth and arrive under the sheepfold of Basse Crigne (950 m). In the meadow under the sheepfold, the path is almost hidden and branches off to the left (it does not go up towards the sheepfold). Continue a few meters and reach a thalweg. The trail is very pleasant, fairly flat and on a balcony. Continue direction south, through old meadows that the forest is gradually recolonizing. When leaving the forest, reach a track, cross it and take the path almost immediately opposite. The path is wild and climbs parallel to the track (on its left) in the direction of Haute Crigne (please note  carefully the markings). Reach the Haute bergerie de Crigne (1130 m). Go back down by the same route.

Les Croix par la tour

Jolie boucle offrant un bel aperçu sur la partie ouest des Hautes Terres de Provence. C’est un parcours principalement en crête et relativement ombragé.L’église de Melve, la tour et son tube de visées et un pupitre Géopark, sont un complément culturel au cheminement De Melve (839 m), prendre la rue montante qui longe derrière l’église le cimetière. Après la dernière maison, la route goudronnée se transforme en piste en suivant une crête. Quitter la piste à gauche juste après un captage d’eau pour suivre un sentier. Une fois sur le plateau, suivre la bordure sud en allant vers la gauche, en direction de la Tour et son tube de visées. Continuer au nord à travers les pâturages pour atteindre une crête. Un passage vertigineux dans les marnes demande un peu d’attention. La suite de l’itinéraire se situe sur le flanc sud de la montagne en franchissant trois passages marneux qui peuvent être délicats. Sur la crête, prendre le sentier à gauche jusqu’au sommet. Au lieu-dit Les Croix (1 412 m), poursuivre par le sentier à l’ouest. Il suit la crête tout au long de son cheminement. Sous Tête de Boursier (1 235 m), un petit aller-retour (10 mn) permet un beau point de vue. Sinon, prendre le sentier descendant, au départ dans une chênaie, puis dans les pâturages pentus. Un passage dans les marnes un peu plus raide, puis de nouveau des zones ombragées, mènerons à la route goudronnée (D 104). Au chemin de la Plane (855 m), suivre la route goudronnée en direction de Melve. Au niveau du hameau du Serre, prendre le sentier (chemin creux au départ) qui monte à gauche. Après un court cheminement, rejoindre le plateau de la Tour de Melve, pour rejoindre le point 2. Prendre en sens inverse le cheminement de montée.

Le circuit des fermes

Le cheminement en boucle permet de découvrir un ensemble de fermes principalement tourné vers l’élevage des ovins. C’est une randonnée sans difficulté mais la longueur du parcours est à prendre en compte. Excellente balade de mi-saison aux paysage très ouverts.  A Melve, prendre en face de l’Église, la rue qui se faufile entre les maisons en descendant. Au sortir du village, poursuivre pour atteindre la route de Sigoyer en la suivant sur la droite. Au hameau des Baudes, quitter la route et prendre à gauche derrière les maisons une piste qui, après avoir franchi une crête boisée, longe une toute nouvelle centrale photovoltaïque, encore en construction à ce jour. Après un collet au niveau de la ferme des Plaines, le chemin pénètre dans une pinède. 800 m plus loin, il traverse des champs (attention brebis) et se poursuit par une petite route goudronnée. La quitter à droite par un sentier au niveau d’une ligne électrique. Descendre jusqu’à la passerelle qui enjambe de ravin du Syrièz et remonter de l’autre côté jusqu’à la route. Un petit cairn maçonné indique le départ de ce sentier. Prendre à droite la route goudronnée et passer devant la ferme des Masses où la route se transforme en piste pour franchir de nouveau le Syrièz. Une longue montée s’en suit pour atteindre la route de Melve à Sigoyer. La suivre 150 m sur la droite et s’engager sur une piste puis un sentier qui permet de couper un virage de la route pour arriver à Sigoyer. A Sigoyer, sous l’école, remonter jusqu’à la place de l’église. Une table d’orientation fait découvrir le panorama de la montagne de Lure, le Ventoux et les Baronnies Provençales. Une borne interactive conte l’histoire du château. Prendre l’escalier sous la table d’orientation pour rejoindre à droite une piste amenant sous le château à la crête de la Corpatasse. A la Corpatasse (760 m), continuer par la piste en laissant à droite le sentier descendant vers les Sagnières. Au bout de 200 m, la piste s’interrompt et se transforme en sentier en s’engageant dans la pinède. Une fois à Chantemerle, laisser le sentier descendant vers Thèze et le Mouson pour s’engager à droite sur un sentier qui se transforme en piste un peu en dessous de l’ancienne ferme de Mitouret. Remonter par la route goudronnée en passant devant la ferme des Fouquetis pour la quitter au virage suivant. Un sentier traverse un petit ravin et arrive sous un captage d’eau. Poursuivre par la piste en prenant deux fois à gauche. Passer devant la ferme de Verdillon et en suivant toujours la piste, atteindre les fermes de la Cabusse et de Prédannau. Laisser à droite la route goudronnée et toujours sur la piste, arriver à la ferme du Forest. En face de celle-ci, prendre un sentier peu marqué au départ qui s’enfonce dans les bois pour rejoindre une draye (chemin ancestral utiliser par les troupeaux d’ovins), la remonter jusqu’à la crête et poursuivre à gauche en vue de la ferme du Tât. Passer devant un réservoir d’eau et regagner rapidement le hameau des Baudes, point de jonction avec le départ de la randonnée.

The Fruit and Wine Route - Hautes-Alpes
11 km

The Fruit and Wine Route - Hautes-Alpes

The Fruit and Wine Route takes you from the lookout point of Lake Serre-Ponçon to Rousset, then along the Durance to the gateway to Provence. It is an original and gourmet invitation to discover fruit and wine production. The fruit and wine producers along this route will help you discover their land! Contemplate the hectares of orchards and vineyards, visit and taste products bursting with the flavours and aromas of the Buëch, Durance and Avance valleys. Get away from it all and discover even more? Heritage and outdoor activities will mark out your itinerary such as the cliff of Céüze, the castle of Tallard, the site of the capped Demoiselles of Théus, the leisure centre Les 3 Lacs de Rochebrune, or the lake of Serre-Ponçon, the highlight of this superb tourist route. History: Fruit production is very old since documents concerning fruit transactions have been found dating back to 1358. The real boom began in 1930 and developed strongly at the beginning of the 1960s with the setting up of new irrigation networks thanks in particular to the construction of the Serre-Ponçon dam. The lake thus formed, the first large artificial earthen reservoir in Europe, is a water reservoir allowing the irrigation of the Durance Valley. The south of the Hautes-Alpes benefits from an exceptional sunshine which is particularly suitable for the orchards and vineyards along this tourist route. Along the route you will discover local producers as well as restaurateurs, and many perched villages, the castle of Tallard, between the vineyards of the Théus plain and the orchards of the Durance Valley which produce famous fruits: the "Gap pear" known since François I, the Passe Crassane, the Golden Delicious. The National Botanical Conservatory of Gap Charance preserves very old varieties of apples and pears.

The Mill Inn

You will taste the sisters' cooking! A unique menu, which varies according to the rows in the vegetable garden and the market stalls. Fresh herbs, seasonal fruit and vegetables, colours of the sun: a real cocktail for inspiration. Don't forget to book! The old mill is a large family house that opens its doors to you in a soothing setting, in the middle of the fields. Between Gap and Embrun, south of Grenoble and just an hour from Briançon, come and take a break in the peace and quiet between Provence and the mountains... The table : The red check tablecloths and the rustic yet feminine decoration set the tone all year round. But as soon as the weather is fine, it is in the shade of the large plane tree in the courtyard that you can enjoy lunch. The fountain sings, the colours of the flowering balconies explode and you can enjoy a nap in the deckchairs... Are you coming for dinner? Then it's under the trellis, just at dusk and around the aperitif that you'll start the evening before leaving the crickets in the garden to return to the table. Winter also delights the guests, warm behind the large bay windows to watch the snowflakes fall and the countryside transform into silence. - The kitchen: Fresh herbs, seasonal fruit and vegetables, the colours of the sun: a real cocktail for inspiration. You'll get a taste of the sisters' cooking! A unique menu, which varies according to the rows of the vegetable garden and the market stalls. For the main course, however, it will be poultry: a speciality! Chickens, pigeons, ducks, quails... always something new. A gourmet dessert to finish? Profiteroles, lemon pie, citrus salad, pear soufflé, strawberry and peach gratin are also part of the recipe booklet and everything is "homemade"! The meal is served with a regional wine, but the cellar offers a wide range of choices. It is necessary to book at least the day before, as you will only eat fresh products! - The gîtes and guest rooms: We also welcome you in our gîtes. The Auberge du Moulin offers you to spend the night in a large, quiet, cosy and bright room. For more space and autonomy, two 2-seater gîtes are at your disposal with a living room/TV area, a small fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with bathtub and separate toilet. Contact us now!
