The Routo route
Routo, in Occitan, means transhumance path. This route followed the large flocks of sheep that used to travel 540 kilometres from the Crau plains to the Stura valley in Italy in three weeks.
The idea of "La Routo" is to reactivate these paths, which have been abandoned for some fifty years, and to rehabilitate them as a long-distance hiking trail, with stopover gîtes, signposting and a topographical guide.
​
33 stages starting from Arles, in the Rhône delta and the Crau plain, passing through the Var, the itinerary reaches the Alpes de Haute Provence via Gréoux-les-Bains, the Valensole plateau, Digne-les-Bains, Seyne-les-Alpes and Barcelonnette to continue to the Larche pass, and continues into Italy to Cuneo, in the Valle Stura.
