Departure from Chabottes (Hautes-Alpes)
A lovely, idyllic walk with virtually no elevation gain, easy and shaded. Ideal for families. You can walk part of the route and turn back, or tackle it in short sections. Of course, it’s possible to do this walk in the opposite direction.
The canal is always covered, so you can’t see the water.
Please note that between the start and point 2 there is a steep descent through the woods.
