17 curated hiking trails around Laye, sourced from OpenStreetMap and enriched with distance, elevation gain and difficulty.
-
Le Pic de Gleize par le Sentier de Ronde
A long, airy loop demanding sure footing, this route climbs to the Pic de Gleize (2,161 m) via the Col de Gleize (1,696 m), where sweeping views open across the entire Champsaur. The col also serves as a gateway toward the wild Cirque de Chaudun, and the panoramas throughout are described as magnificent.
-
Plateau de Bayard
The route climbs in switchbacks to the Col de Gleize, where the Gapençais basin and surrounding summits open into sweeping views, before plunging into the Bois Vert state forest, which occasionally parts to reveal glimpses of the Champsaur bocage, then descends to follow the banks of the Drac river.
-
Le Pic de Gleize
The loop departs from the Col de Gleize (1696m) and climbs to the Pic de Gleize at 2161m, threading through a landscape of summits, ridges, and rocky crests on the eastern flank of the Dévoluy massif.
-
Le Tour de Folletière
-
Le Tour de Guizière
The route winds through the woods and open flanks of the Montagne de Charance, climbing in broad switchbacks among the pines to a ridge at 1862 m and the Col de Guizière. Spring brings the trail alive with alpine flora — anemones, tulips, orchids, and clematis — while summer offers cool shade in the forest.
