The spectacular Pénitents were sculpted by erosion in the pudding, a rock made up of pebbles torn from the Alps during their elevation and dumped here by rivers over a period ranging from 2 to 12 million years. Legend has it that these are monks who were petrified because they turned around when beautiful Moorish women passed by...

On the high plateau of the monastery there is a rock trail that leads directly along the slope or the rocks of the slope. There are fantastic views along the route.

Very spectacular hike above the cliffs of Les Mees, with great views. However, good sure-footedness (sturdy shoes) and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!

The Graille pass is probably the most famous pass in the Alps without even knowing it. So that? Because it is the obligatory step to reach the mountain of Lure. It is one of the first steps of the southern Alps. It is often compared to Mount Ventoux for its easily climbed, bald summit. Also well known to shepherds, the Pas de la Graille has been a path of transhumance since prehistoric times. The D53 connects Saint-Etienne-les-Orgues with Valbelle.

Stage at 1597 m before the signal from the mountain of Lure. You have a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape.

We happened upon it and the tulips are just beginning to bloom. So best timing. Unfortunately also a highlight for all other tourists, so that the rush of cars is quite large!

This beautiful part of the trail strays slightly from the Durance and gives you a glimpse of the geological formation of the Mées penitents in the distance. The trail itself is very pleasant to walk.

So nice 🤠
