This quite physical hiking leads to a lookout point onto the Buëch valleys, the Méouge river and the surrounding massifs. The spring flora offered by the slope along the ridge is worthy of interest.

Description

  1. From the fountains, go on the road hiking up to a fork upon the village. The fork transforms into a path.
  2. Turn left – at the signpost « Pic Saint Cyr » - and go on the steep wide path. You can sometimes enjoy the path when it crosses some hairpin bends until a forest house.
  3. Turn right on an old sledge track (which was used to transport heat wood). In a wide bend, hike up into a bank where the path ends up at Saint Pierre pass (1269 meters).
  4. On your right, take the steep forest path crossing « le pas du Loup » - a curious way between rocks - and go on the rise. Hike up on your right a stair like path and admire the panoramic view from Saint Cyr peak (1365 meters). Go down at the junction.
  5. Reach the ridge and go down along the path until a box trees area. After a rocky part, reach the signpost (950 meters, it is quite visible uphill).
  6. Turn off on your left and follow a path more or less visible. Cross an old pine wood leading to a clearing.
  7. Turn right and reach a wide tilted plateau.
  8. Go along the wide track on your right, which will soon become a slope going down to the fork taken before. Go back to the parking lot.
