A beautiful hike from the picturesque village of Saint-Jurs to the summit of Agra and its breathtaking view of the Valensole plateau. In summer, the forest massif is sometimes closed due to fire risk.
Description
From the parking lot opposite the fountain, head back towards the village. Take the street opposite, "Lou Pas," then turn right onto Rue du Four. Pass under the old castle and join the road to the Col de St Jurs. Take the marked trail opposite and quickly reach the road. Follow it for 500 meters. Continue uphill on the marked route for another 2 kilometers, alternating between walking on the path through the woods and sections on the small road to the pass. After a final road crossing, join the trail at a junction of marked routes. Leave the access to the Col de St Jurs on your left and continue straight ahead to the small pass where the trail to the summit of Agra begins.
The path quickly enters a rocky defile (a little steep but no particular difficulty) then continues the path in bends to the crest of the Agra. In the middle of the box trees reach the summit.
Head back towards the summit of Montdenier and go down the path between the rocks to the woods. Turn left onto the path and go down in bends, under the pines, to the track. Take the opposite path. The route goes off to the left, crosses a valley and joins the Levens track. Return, on the left, to the Col de St Jurs. Then take the path on the left 150m after the car park and go back down to the village.
