A magnificent place between road and paths. Switchbacks and stone paths in good condition.

Pretty mountain lake easily accessible by Esparron. The path from here continues towards the Col de Clapouse and the magnificent Monges.

Located at 2,115 meters, Les Monges is the highest point of the Digne Pre-Alps and offers beautiful views of the region. The hike from Esparron is varied and is done along the Lac des Monges, through the forest and the mountain pastures.

Superb descent on a very wide ridge. Long descent in the pastures in freeride mode at the start then on a single. No great difficulties (some passages are occasionally more technical but not impassable) Continue with the descent from Pierremont to reach Authon

Very nice view all around; the summit is a large meadow plateau.
