Departure from Uvernet-Fours (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
The third stage is very difficult due to its length of nearly 26 km, with a few technical sections – particularly when carrying a rucksack – which will put your body to the test. This is why I have classified this stage as ‘very difficult’. However, this stage is one of the most beautiful on this route: wild, technical, with stunning panoramic views.
You’ll cross pastures, wooded areas, mountain pastures and very rocky high-mountain sections between the two highest peaks of the Mercantour: Mont Pelat (3,051 m) and Le Cimet (3,020 m).
You’ll be crossing the northern part of the Mercantour National Park.
Allow between 8 and 10 hours for this challenging stage.
