This vertical trail starts in the village of Vallouise and climbs directly up the western flank of the Mont-Brison massif. From the very first meters, you dive into steep singletrack that quickly rises above the forest. It's a pure climbing route: few recovery moments, a constant gradient, and the landscape

The starting point is in the village of Pallon, where you can conveniently park and fill up with water at the fountain upon your return. From here, the climb to one of the region's most enjoyable ridge runs begins: the Crête de la Rortie.

In terms of length and elevation gain, this route appears accessible, but don't be fooled by its profile. The path largely follows the glacier's moraine, a narrow scree slope with steep drops on both sides. The terrain requires concentration and surefootedness. Anyone uncomfortable on narrow, exposed

This trail, like the route to the Glacier Noir, begins at Pré de Madame Carle. It's a popular starting point, especially for hikers heading to the Glacier Blanc, but it's also a magnificent high-mountain trek for trail runners. Due to the lack of shade, it can get hot in summer, so it's best to start

You begin this trail at the parking lot in Les Vigneaux on the Gyronde River. You follow the water through a flat farmland, an ideal warm-up for the climb ahead. After crossing the river, the ascent begins towards Bouchier, a small, remote hamlet perched high on the mountainside that still reflects what

This trail starts at the parking lot at the end of the Chambran Valley. The drive there alone is beautiful. Due to the north-south orientation of the valley and the constant flow of meltwater from Lac de l’Eychauda, the valley is strikingly green, with an abundance of Mediterranean plants and flowers

From the hotel, ascend towards the canal paths that take you to Narreyroux. To reach this beautiful little valley, you'll then face a steep climb along the Torrent de la Combe, a wild mountain stream that carries the meltwater from the massif. Once at the top, the path levels off and you reach the picturesque

You start this trail in Ailefroide, a lively mountain village that becomes one of the most important spots for climbers and mountaineers in the Écrins region in summer. As soon as winter sets in, the village fades back into silence: the road is covered in snow, and Ailefroide is then only accessible
