About us

One of the most difficult stages of the crossing, but one of the most beautiful. The route joins the alpine pastures exploited by herds of sheep. The landscapes of the stage are grandiose and spectacular.

From Lac du Léat, a vegetation of blueberries, rhododendrons and junipers favorable to the Black Grouse has developed. Then, a few clumps of alders stand on the path leading to the Cross. This rich mosaic of natural environments testifies to the competition between plant species. Pastoralism thus contributes to the maintenance of fragile ecological balances.

Jochen and/or Céline will welcome you at the stopover gîte.
