Hiking
The path takes you to the Gleize peak, at the end of an ascent of 410 meters in altitude. The panoramas at the summit are exceptional! We recommend that you follow this circuit in spring, when the alpine flora gives its most beautiful colors.
This hike starts at the Col de Gleize, from the eponymous car park. You can come by car from Gap following the N85 to Col Bayard then the Col de Gleize road. At 1,696 meters above sea level, the pass itself offers a magnificent view of the Champsaur bocage.
For the return, the easiest option will be to retrace your steps. Continuing on the Gleize crest which starts from the peak is much more technical and requires sure footing in rocky terrain.
And if you are up there, you like the view and you want to go a little further before going back down, two options are available to you: complete the route via the Chaudun peak, in the extension of Gleize, or turn around and go up to the Pic de l'Aiguille.

Trail Reviews
There are two routes to the summit: a short, steeper one or a slightly longer, easier, and less steep one. It's recommended to take the steeper route when climbing and the longer one when descending. Or take the less steep route there and back, as we did.
