Description
A challenging hike that starts in a warm south facing atmosphere before changing to a wilder more alpine one.
Learn moreA steep climb that gives off Mediterranean scents.
The first climb is across a warm, dry hillside, amidst heather moors and orchid-filled lawns, and opens up progressively into a panoramic view of the Vercor foothills.
The footpath then leads into a cooler high mountain setting.
At the end of the valley, it is not rare to see a few calm chamois grazing on the fine grass amongst the scree.
