Very difficult

  • Between forest, mountain pasture and ridge, this loop seduces with its diversity.

  • If you pass in front of Ste Cécile church, you're on the right track! Cross the ‘le Queyras’ development and follow in the footsteps of Philippe Lamour, former mayor of Ceillac and the man behind the famous GR 58.

And no, the first plateau is not the finish line, but if you're feeling weak, you can loop round by taking the narrow path towards Le Villard on the right.

    If you pass in front of Ste Cécile church, you're on the right track! Cross the ‘le Queyras’ development and follow in the footsteps of Philippe Lamour, former mayor of Ceillac and the man behind the famous GR 58. The tight switchbacks in the Cheynet forest will keep your calves in check! And no, the first plateau is not the finish line, but if you're feeling weak, you can loop round by taking the narrow path towards Le Villard on the right. Otherwise, the climb continues to the Col de Bramousse. A little more effort is required to reach the Chambrettes ridge and its rocky world. A detour to Château Grossan is well worthwhile for its panoramic views. Finally, a well-deserved stop at the Chambrettes lookout, the highest point of the hike, offers views over the Cristillan valley, the village and the Font Sancte mountain range. To complete the tour, descend to Col Fromage and then to the hamlet of Villard to Ceillac.
