Sigoyer

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Hautes-Alpes

Sigoyer seduces by the charm and the cachet of its restored old houses, its bell tower and its tiled roofs. It is not, however, the original village of which only a few scattered ruins remain. Placed under the protection of the tutelary figure of Céüse, the town is characterized by a mixture of dynamism and good life.

Things to see and do

The cliff of Céüse: There is no shortage of expressions to express the emotion aroused by the 4 kilometers of cliff of Céüse and its 2000 meters of Jurassic limestone overlooking the Gapençais. It is certainly Stéphanie Bodet, climber and writer, who speaks about it the best. She and her companion, Arnaud Petit, have taken up residence at the foot of this "splendid diadem haloing the Gapençais basin and the village of Sigoyer". Each summer, thousands of climbers come from all over the world, in the footsteps of Jean-Christophe Lafaille and Chris Sharma, to cover the 500 or so routes that Céüse has to offer. The Col des Guérins is the most direct access route to the cliff; on this site, arrangements are being made to accommodate climbers in optimal conditions. Hiking, mountain biking or snowshoeing routes are marked on the cliff.
