About this hike

L'itinéraire fait le tour de la Montagne de Lure — un massif calcaire culminant à 1 825 m, cousin géologique du Mont Ventoux — en traversant des plateaux de lavande et des chênaies à truffes avant d'atteindre un haut désert pierreux offrant des vues s'étendant du Vercors à la Méditerranée. En chemin, des abris de bergers en pierre sèche appelés *ories*, la chapelle de Notre-Dame de Lure ombragée par des cèdres, et des forêts de hêtres sur les versants nord ombragés marquent un paysage qui abrite chamois, loups et la rare vipère d'Orsini.
