The walk is mainly along a small tarmac road. A footpath allows you to shorten the road sections. We walked after snowfall and chose to be cautious, i.e. we took the road. The snow made the landscape even more beautiful.

Please note: at (5), the markings become difficult to read and the passage itself is technical.

Moderator’s note : reviews of this hike suggest that a GPS device or the Visorando app may be useful
Warning! Changing vegetation and the lack of signposting make this walk unpredictable if you do not feel confident navigating terrain that is sometimes difficult and off-trail. Rely on your eyes (traces of previous passage, topography), a 1:25,000 map (which will give you a larger viewing area than a GPS screen) and your GPS (to know where you are and how to orient your map).
