All one-day hikes

From Villargaudin at the bottom of the village, head for La Maravia. You'll arrive at Arvieux in less than an hour. As you enter Arvieux, between the Presbytery and the Temple, turn right onto Route des Maisons. You are now on the GR5 hiking trail where you'll discover Villargaudin on the opposite slope. At Lake Roue, leave the GR5 to turn right towards ‘Belvédères' as indicated on the sign. The path above Villargaudin and Château-Queyras takes you back to the GR5 trail. A little further along, turn right towards ‘Les Moulins - Villargaudin”. Walk down to Les Moulins, take a look at the mill, then return to the Pont du Déserteur (bridge) and leave the Villargaudin road to follow a path that also leads to Villargaudin.

From the village square (Place Jean Léa), take the uphill street behind the fountain. Take the first turn left up to the church. Continue behind the church to the end of the cemetery and turn right onto a path leading up to the cross. From here you can sit on the seat to admire the plunging view over the village and try to identify the main square and the town hall roof. Next, follow the uphill path which leads below a house and onto the road. Then go 100 metres down to an electricity pylon on your right. After another 30 metres, pass between the safety barriers to take the footpath leading back to the village.
