Sentier Widman is a 0.5-mile point-to-point route in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, inside Parc national des Écrins (aire d’adhésion). It runs between about 5,240 ft and 5,800 ft above sea level, with roughly 560 ft of climbing one way. It is a mountain path with steeper and uneven sections, so wear proper hiking shoes. It is mapped as a named hiking route, with the sections joined into one trail here. The nearest town is Embrun, about 2.2 miles northwest of the trailhead. Peaks within about 3 miles include Mont Guillaume, L'Arpion and Tête de Chante-Perdrix. For camping, Les Tourelles and Les Cariamas are within about 6 miles. Distances, elevations and the route shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Trails, access rules and conditions change, so check locally before you go.
