THEMED PATH: Mr Alfred's wood

Sport, Pedestrian sports, Hiking itinerary in Freissinières
4.9 km

  • A pleasant and fun outing through forest and along the river bank.

  • Opposite the Valley Centre ("Maison de la Vallée"), follow the waysigns for the "Sentier d'Alfred". The pathway first drops down into meadows surrounded by groves of trees, until it comes to the Biaysse, which you cross via a bridge. 

    After the bridge, keep left on this pathway.
    Turn right onto a track. It rises gently up to a bridge, the Pont de l'Église, which takes you back across the Biaysse. Then, follow the road which drops back down towards Le Ribes (Freissinières). 
    At the car park...

    At the car park just outside the village, don't miss the path on the right: near the cross at the bottom of the car park, you need to go down a set of steps and turn right to drop down to the river. Then, follow a former dyke built on a stone foundation to return to your starting point.
