From one bank of the Durance to the other
EasyImportant information
Dans le Parc national des Écrins, les sentiers sont généralement praticables de la mi-juin à fin septembre.
Toutefois, les périodes d'accessibilité des itinéraires et les dates de pose des passerelles varient d’une année à l’autre en fonction de l’enneigement, des dégâts survenus en hiver et des conditions météorologiques. Par ailleurs, l’état des sentiers n’est pas contrôlé quotidiennement et peut évoluer rapidement après un évènement météorologique (orage, crue...). Il est nécessaire de se renseigner auprès des maisons du parc national et des offices de tourisme du territoire avant votre sortie. Pendant la randonnée, en cas de passage dégradé ou dangereux, faites demi-tour et signalez-le.
Description
- From Embrun station, head down towards the town centre and, at the roundabout, go left towards Briançon. Continue straight on, passing the fire station and reaching a bend just before a large roundabout (shortly after passing under a railway bridge).
- Now head towards Châteauroux-les-Alpes along the D994h. Then cross this municipality and continue straight on until you reach the N94.
- Drive onto this lane, which can be fairly busy at times and, with caution, ride correctly on the right. After 4 km, enter Saint-Clément-sur-Durance. Cross the village and, after crossing the bridge over the Durance, turn right towards Saint-André d'Embrun.
- This is followed by some gentle ascents and descents along the banks of the Durance, taking in the beautiful views. You will also pass through several hamlets before reaching the foot of Saint-André d'Embrun.
- Continue straight on, staying on the D994d, towards Embrun. Continue for 4 km and, at the STOP sign, turn right and cross the Durance on a metal bridge (wooden floor) towards the citadel of Embrun.
- Finally, take the last ascent back to the starting point.
