Description

Spot 4x4 juste à côté de l'autre, il faut traverser la piste de ski et s'enfoncer dans la forêt. La piste peut être boueuse et glissante, 4x4 absolument nécessaire (été seulement)

The Camper’s take

High-altitude forest spot accessible by 4x4 only, via a rutted and winding mountain road. Two parking spaces at forest edge, excellent trailhead for hiking. Very busy during peak season with heavy traffic. Local farmer retrieves cattle at 6 AM. Peaceful in low season. No facilities.

Highlights

  • Starting point for well-known hikes
  • Much quieter than the upper car park in low season
  • Van accessible for adapted vehicles

Good to know

  • 4x4 absolutely essential, very rough and degraded road
  • Heavy crowds in peak season
  • Early morning disruption at 6 AM due to farmer’s milking routine
  • Livestock and dung around pitches

Motorhome access : 4x4 essential. Mountain road is rugged, winding, and slippery. Only two spots available without blocking each other. Not suitable for large motorhomes.
