Elevation : 451m
École primaire, 04160 L' Escale
This hike will make you discover different landscapes typical of Haute-Provence: scrubland, oak or beech woods, an abandoned village as well as some pretty viewpoints on the Durance.
The trail first crosses the old hamlet of Cléments then climbs towards the ruined village of Vière. Then climb 300m of altitude difference on a well-marked track. A crossing on the hillside in the undergrowth allows you to catch your breath for 1km before continuing the climb to the place called "bastide blanche". From there, switch to the ravine of Barrabine, in the direction of Mirabeau. 1,2km further, the trail branches off to the right and climbs in the undergrowth to the crest of Pailleroux. It then descends to the Escale, successively crossing an oak forest, a cultivated area, then a dry scrubland, the domain of aromatic plants.
