Footbridge over the Durance

Highlight • Bridge

Nice passage above the Durance. I recommend chaining it along the Durance by the Hippocampe campsite, it's pretty.

Camping l'Hippocampe de Volonne

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the edge of the Durance and very close to the campsite, just after passing the charming village of Volonne, you move on a beautiful road.

Vanson Gorges

Highlight • Gorge

The Vançon descends from the Monges massif and flows into the Durance shortly downstream of Sisteron. From here we have splendid views of the gorges!

Col de l'Hysope

Mountain Pass

Single along the Durance

Highlight • Other

Unfortunately, the edge is prohibited because it belongs to Edf but this small path allows you to follow the Durance in complete legality.

Mini cycle path against the railing which has the merit of existing and of avoiding rubbing shoulders with the many cars on the national road. Unlike other places along the national, here you can drive safely.
