에스토블롱 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

After 1/3 of the way steep climb and not for people afraid of heights! (open slope without protection)

Beautiful purple just at the end of June when the lavender fields were in bloom

Here the hiking trail winds its way between rock and abyss. There are wire ropes where you can find support, but surefootedness and a head for heights are an advantage. But the view over the country is terrific.

From the top of this eminence, there is a superb view of the Valensole plateau, the Sainte Croix lake and the pre-Alps that await you. Access to the mountain is via the Saint Jurs pass, by a few successive portages. The descent can be done by the same route or by the western slope going towards the village of Saint Jurs. The descent begins with a sublime view of the lake of Sainte Croix, then makes large switchbacks on good ground (level S2). At the end of the descent, more tight and uneven hairpins (level S4) allow you to pass a rocky lock (do not hesitate to walk).

Superb view of the Valensole plateau and the surrounding mountains. Orientation table at the top Accessible without great difficulty in 2 hours from the village of Saint-Jurs or in 45 min from the parking lot at the Col de Saint-Jurs (accessible by a motorable track).

The entrance is still locked 05.2019.

The sweat is worth it!

Very striking is the oven. There is not much left of Valbonnette
