Autres Versants offers guided hiking and nature experiences around Sisteron, in the Haute-Provence landscape where the Alps meet Provence. Led by Simon, a state-certified mountain leader who lives in Sisteron, the business introduces visitors to the Sisteronais, Buëch, Lure, Monges, Baronnies, Dévoluy and Verdon. Routes are tailored to participants’ pace and interests and can last a few hours, a full day or several days.

Themed outings explore local plants, geology, wildlife, waterways and heritage, and may include visits to regional farms and producers. Simon also organizes outdoor games and nature activities for children, including orientation challenges and forest escape games, with options for different ages and family participation. A two-day training course helps hikers gain confidence and independence through map and GPS navigation, landscape reading, trip planning and advice on overnight logistics.

The approach emphasizes small groups, local knowledge, respectful wildlife observation and lower-impact travel. Participants can join scheduled outings or request a fully personalized experience in the Alpes provençales
