Pass the ruins of Les Granges then those of Suyès and exit at a "drop" called Merle where you join the classic path. Continue to climb towards the chapel. Up there, Saint-Michel du Cousson awaits you perched on its rock and the summit (1512 m) offers you an exceptional 360° panorama. Nice day hike and return by the same route.

On this route, the Saint-Michel du Cousson chapel clings to a steep cliff. It is a modest square-plan Romanesque-style building. Its walls are solid on three sides, the thinner façade wall is pierced with two small openings. A remarkable decorative element, a stone carved with interlacing, adorns the top of the door. During work carried out in 1983, the original was replaced by a cast. The façade has just been renovated. The Saint Michel du Cousson chapel is one of the oldest chapels in Digne. Its foundation dates back to 1035.
