Alternative route to La Salette via Bois le Prêtre and Le Tatier, starting from Risolet (Montclar). This alternative route follows part of the Dormillouse Trail taken by runners on the short course – 11 km – except for the return leg to La Salette, where you can enjoy the view of the surrounding peaks and reflect on the first inhabitants of Montclar who once lived there. To find out more, I can only recommend reading this remarkable book: *Montclar, les deux clochers* by Alain Bouyala (father of the new mayor, François Bouyala!).
