Chabre Mountain.
Overlooking the Buëch valley, Chabre Mountain is an unmissable massif of the Sisteronais-Buëch territory.
Well-known for its flight area, air competitions are often organised. Back in 2009, Chabre Mountain had welcomed the world hang-gliding championship.
It also is a massif with a lot of hiking routes. They offer wonderful views of Lure Mountain, the Écrins massif and Ventoux Mount.
A viewpoint indicator helps you to situate the different surrounding summits.
Description
- From the hamlet, go on the departmental road D 330 towards Laragne for about 1,5 km.
- Take a forest track heading to your right where you can see an ONF fence and follow the yellow marking. At the « clos du chat » signpost ignore the path on your left and go on the track. When you hike up the track again, you can see on your right St Genis Corrie. Don’t forget to take a look at the different landscapes.
- After 2 hairpin bends, turn right and follow the main track. 3 bends later, take the path leading to « la crête de Chabre ». Go straight forward, ignoring the paths on your left and your right. The rise is quite steep until the ridge.
- Turn right towards Chabre summit (international hang-gliding site). To reach the summit, walk on a wide track and then take a small path in front of you. Hike back down following the same route.
