An easy circuit on a pretty balcony path offering numerous views of the Saint-André-les-Alpes valley and Lac de Castillon.
From Place Pastorelli (where the Tourist Office is located), head towards the Chemins de Fer de Provence train station. A few dozen meters before the station, turn left onto chemin des vertus. A hundred metres further on, turn left onto the Chemin du Chalvet (which is actually a tarmac road) and follow it. After 500 m, take the shortcut on your right. This will take you back to the Chemin du Chalvet for another 500 m. At a hairpin bend, continue straight ahead, taking the path towards “Les Glaires”. It’s an easy path through a forest, with some lovely views. Follow the path as far as “Dindière avec son Belvédère”, always taking a left at the three intersections you come to. Continuing along the path, you’ll find the Chalvet road you took at the start of the hike, which will take you back to the starting point.
Some occasional passages on the marl flanks can be slippery.
