Hiking

Hard hike. Great for any fitness level. Sure-footedness, sturdy shoes and alpine experience required. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

La Fru Shelter

Highlight • Other

Magnificent succession of rocky ledges sheltering a cellar occupied since prehistoric times by man. It is a place to discover where we reconnect with the past of men linked to the riches of the massif.

Unfortunately, at the time of my visit there was no guided tour and therefore no entry into the caves... The walk is still worthwhile

Switched to Gravel at the end of April 2024. Possible but not ideal. The view is sublime. The place is rich in history. A portage is necessary as there is a section with stairs.
