Description

You will go up the spectacular and tortuous Bès valley, rich in geological curiosities, then you will go around this emblematic mountain before descending 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 exit of the city: the Museum Promenade and the Dalles 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.
