At the foot of the Estrop Glacier, this is a must-do hike due to the variety of landscapes encountered and the richness of the wetland where a multitude of small streams intertwine. A must-see!

Description

Beneath the majestic Séolanes, peaks with limestone walls well-known to rock climbers, the route begins gently, climbing a track that runs alongside a sometimes uncontrollable torrent.

Arriving at the Plan Bas forest house, which once housed forestry workers, truly marks the beginning of the trail that leads hikers from the forest to the peaceful Eaux Tortes, beneath the high peaks of the Trois Évêchés massif.

The descent takes place on a stony path, which rejoins the track taken at the start.

Details concerning animals This hike is accessible with a dog, provided it is kept on a leash throughout. This helps protect wildlife, preserve flora, and ensure the peace and quiet of other hikers.
