This is a very pleasant hike which, after a covered climb, offers breathtaking views of the Daluis Gorges.
The landscapes are magnificent, combining red, green vegetation and blue stone.
Swimming in the Clue d'Amen is a very pleasant experience in summer.
The abandoned hamlet of Amen is a major tourist attraction as it was a completely self-sufficient community for decades, with no other access routes than the hiking trails.

This eighteenth stage continues the traverse of the Mercantour Massif.

It drops down to the bottom of the Vallon du Démant, crosses its torrent and, on the slope of the opposite side, meets the Vallon de la Gourgette. Above the hamlet of Vignols, it climbs beneath the ruin-like rocks of Les Chambrettes, where a colony of bearded vultures nests, and passes the small pass of Portes de Longon, then winds its way along a stream to reach the Refuge du Longon or Vacherie de Roure.
