The town of Gap nestles in the foothills of the high French Alps. Two main routes approach it. The northern route follows the Route Napoleon D94, which snakes its way around the cliffs of the Vercour and takes 2hrs from Grenoble.
Alternatively, if you take the fly-drive option from the UK and land in Marseille you approach Ceuse via the main Auto-route (A51) and takes again approximately two hours. Having bought your weekly supplies from one of the many excellent supermarkets in Gap follow the main road to Venyes on the D994 for approximately 6Km. Camping les GuerinsThen take a left turn in a small village to Sigoyer D19 sign posted 10km. Once you have reached Sigoyer follow the signs for the Massif de Ceuse on the D219, which winds its way upwards for 5KM, eventually taking a right turn at the Camping Les Guerins sign. You have now reached your base camp.
