The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Wild mountain parking at the entrance to the Dran plateau, popular with climbers and hikers. Stunning views and peaceful atmosphere with cowbell sounds. Access via rough, rocky track unsuitable for large motorhomes. No services. Polarizing spot: appreciated by travelers but causing friction with local residents and foot hikers.

Highlights

  • Spectacular views of the plateau and mountains
  • Complete peace, peaceful atmosphere with natural sounds
  • Perfect starting point for climbing and hiking
  • Few crowds off-season

Good to know

  • Very stony and damaging access track for vehicles
  • Tensions with local residents and hikers on foot
  • No mobile signal
  • No parking or very poorly tolerated according to some

Motorhome access : Difficult access: stony track for over 1km, risk of punctures. Not suitable for large motorhomes. Few flat spots. Manoeuvring is tricky.
