Le Pain de Sucre de Guillestre

This short hike from Guillestre leads to Le Pain de Sucre, a local viewpoint reaching 1,137 m, not to be confused with the peak at col Agnel. The official listing gives a distance of 2.2 km, a duration of around 1 hour 30 minutes and an easy difficulty rating. The climb ends with a short, steeper section; the return follows the canal de la Longeagne. Snow or ice can make conditions much more difficult.
