GR®69 La Routo

From Arles (Bouches-du-Rhone) to Ruburent Pass (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)

The GR®69, spanning 404 kilometers, follows the historical traces of transhumance. Departing from Arles, the trail crosses the Crau plain, a vast expanse of dry grasslands, before entering the Var department via Salon-de-Provence and Aix-en-Provence, where hikers can discover Provençal architecture. As the path enters the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the trail leads through the Valensole plateau, famous for its lavender fields. The route continues to Digne-les-Bains, a spa town surrounded by mountains, before ascending towards Seyne-les-Alpes and Barcelonnette in the Ubaye Valley. The course then reaches the Col de Ruburent, an alpine pass located on the border between France and Italy. The trail continues into Italy, in the Stura Valley, offering a unique cross-border continuity.
