Why choose a trail at Gorges de la Méouge?
The Méouge gorges are located 5 kilometers south of Laragne and are classified as a biological reserve and are a real treasure of the department.
The gorges of the Méouge are designated as a treasure of the Hautes Alpes, bathed in heat and sunshine, and are a famous place for swimming and hiking.
The pebble beach is accessible from several car sites (which run along the course). It is easily accessible and very busy, especially during the summer vacations.
People gather mainly at the entrance to the site, where they can dip their feet in the water and admire the Romanesque three-arched bridge in good condition and the remains of the mill washed away by the flood in 1901. Impossible to miss them, the wreckage is visible from the D942.
Along the way, huge rocks have formed beautiful ivory-colored strata, which have amazed geologists. It seems that some huge stones are kept in balance by mysterious powers. The site also abounds in mountain, Provencal, Mediterranean, Iberian and even Maghrebian plants.

Why visit Gorges de la Méouge
The narrow road winding through the periwinkle stream of the Méouge announces a high-flying excursion.
These Gorges twist in formidable primitive fortifications, linking the Drôme and the Hautes-Alpes region.
The Azure River began a vibrant marathon. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes angry, it shuttled between the rustic arches of the ancient Romanesque bridge, then rushed into the cave, forming an open-air term.
"Le Banc du Bouc" is another family-friendly trail that allows you to visit most of the Méouge gorge without getting too tired. About 2.3 kilometers, it takes about one hour.
