Departure from La Croix-sur-Roudoule (Alpes-Maritimes)
A beautiful and original hike on a little-used route offering a lovely view of the Mercantour (some peaks can be seen from unusual angles) from the summit of Pibossan.
Spring is the ideal time to walk this route, with the broom in bloom.
The route follows what is probably an ancient Roman road (paved path) through the red earth rising from the Daluis Gorges.
