lunar plateau of Bure

You will first have to reach one of the entrances to this fortress. From Le Dévoluy, there are two main options: via “la Fenêtre” accessible from the ski area, or via the combe Ratin. As you pass the ridge, the plateau is revealed, a great immaculate expanse.

You will also discover the IRAM observatory: twelve steel giants riveted on the universe. Wait a little and you will see them perform their synchronized dance. You then begin the crossing of this lunar plateau, in the direction of the peak. Up there, after a final effort, the long-awaited panorama awaits you.

A true balcony among the mountains, the Pic de Bure offers a view from the Verdon to the Vercors via the Écrins. It is the place where climbers, mountaineers, paragliders and gliders rub shoulders.

Keep an eye out for the passing golden eagle, which sometimes comes to give an aerobatic show to visitors. A unique natural space, preserved by its vertiginous walls. You go back down by the combe Ratin, very small in the middle of the limestone walls to finish your hike in the Bois Rond. You will have thus explored a diversity of exceptional landscapes.
