At Hameau de Entreilles, we continued on to the Rotisson Pass, and from there we rejoined the route at the wind turbines. The trail back after the sculptures is pleasant, with beautiful views of the Rhône Valley, and there are more carved rocks to see.

A pleasant hike. Discovering the sculpted rocks is surprising and enjoyable. Be aware that the return trip along the path after the sculptures is not easy for those with sensitive knees. It can easily be avoided by staying on the track.

Be sure to check that you are still on the right route. There are paths crossing the route, and we weren't paying enough attention to the crossroads, which meant we had to turn back twice to find the right track. So we ended up walking an extra kilometre.
The descent down the southern slope offers beautiful views of the Rhône Valley and the Ardèche. We completed the route in three hours instead of the four hours indicated.
In summer, almost the entire route is shaded. So we'll happily do it again...

A very beautiful hike. Impressive wind turbines; and above all, a wonderful descent with superb views of the Rhône Valley, the Vercors and the Trois Becs massif. And as a reward for the effort of the climb, the opportunity to admire beautiful sculptures carved into the rocks.
Worth doing again for pleasure and indulgence.

A very pleasant and varied walk that brings you up close to the gigantic wind turbines (which were completely silent on Sunday). There were lots of hunters at "Le Moulin", but no shots were fired.
The climb at the start is quite challenging, over a kilometre long!
We didn't manage to follow the right path to the end at point 10, just after the sculptures (great!), and ended up in the brambles. We turned back and took the main path to point 2. You probably need a GPS for this section, which isn't marked in yellow.

A lovely, enjoyable walk, with sections through the woods, beautiful scenery, and as a bonus, these sculptures, which we lingered over to admire the woodcarver's talent! Thank you to him and thank you to the creator of this walk.
