Sentier Widman is a 2.0-mile point-to-point route in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, inside Parc national des Écrins (aire d’adhésion). It runs between about 6,740 ft and 8,280 ft above sea level, with roughly 1,060 ft of climbing one way. It is a mountain path with steeper and uneven sections, so wear proper hiking shoes.
