The Legend Trail in St-Salvy-de-la-Balme

The long loop starts from the village square, where there is parking for all vehicles. Avenue du Sidobre near the town hall of Saint-Salvy-de-la-Balme. Yellow markings with signs in both directions.
For the short loop, the start is at the Parking du Chaos de la Balme at point (4). See Practical Information.

(S/E) Go through the small garden behind the presbytery behind the town hall, then continue straight ahead, passing the war memorial on your right.

(1) Turn right/left and continue along the street until the right-hand bend. Turn left onto a path. When you reach an intersection with another path on your right at the start of the undergrowth, continue straight downhill until you reach a junction with the PR®.

(2) Follow this path to the right, "Sentier des Légendes", until you reach Chaos de la Balme.

(3) We recommend making a short round trip to explore this large river of rocks before continuing to follow the yellow markings towards Balme du Loup. Arrive at the Chaos de la Balme car park.
