[Trek] Ravin de l’Echelle (0)
From St-Barthélemy (940 m), follow the paved road for 200 m.
Turn left into the Ravin de l’Échelle via a trail that winds upward to pass the waterfall of the same name.
Continue along the upper Ravin de l’Échelle, following the stream.
Take the trail on the left that moves away from the ravine, climbing to reach the upper trail.
Head left to reach the ridge.
At the Crête des Rouyères (1,360 m), follow the trail while staying on the ridge (a mountain bike trail branches off to the left). This trail climbs rapidly to the summit of Les Plauts. From there, it becomes very exposed for the remainder of the route. Shortly after the summit, a trail joins from the right (Col des Rouyères). Several handrails equipped with cables secure the path.
Once at Tête de la Plane (1,430 m), the trail descends to the left into a beautiful beech forest after stopping at the orientation table at the summit of Tête de la Plane. A magnificent panorama opens up from Dévoluy to Mercantour.
At the Plane junction (1,410 m), pass the trail on the right that descends toward Gigors. Continue along the slope, crossing two handrails to reach a trail. Follow the trail for 500 m.
Pass the trail on your right that descends to the source of the Jas and continue along the path until you reach a hairpin bend. Turn left to reach the Crête des Rouyères.
Back on the Crête des Rouyères (1,360 m), follow points 6 through 3 in reverse order (top of the waterfall). At point 3, take the path on the left that climbs uphill and soon joins a trail.
Continue along the descending trail on the right.
Pass the ascending trail and turn right toward the starting point.
