Castelviel


Contrasting vegetation

The mystery of the shaped rock
The story also goes that these shapes are the foundations for the pillars of a bridge linking the Serre des Potences, built by fairies who were tired of having to cross the valley to meet up. However, digging soon struck them as being even more tiring than walking!

The raven
Description
1) After 600 m, take the track on the right. You walk below pines and clear-cut areas.
2) At the intersection, take the track on the right; at the second intersection, continue straight ahead.
3) Take the leftmost track and cross over to the other side of the ridge.
4) After 1.1 km, the track turns slightly left. Then it changes into a path and veers right (steep slope). Walk alongside the ridge. Be careful: some sections are vertiginous and schist bedrock might be slippery when it is raining.
5) When you arrive at the highest point, take the path on the left to another high point.
6) Continue for 20 metres, until you see the path again (steep section on schist).
7) At the intersection, turn left. At the second intersection, continue straight ahead. Finally, at the third intersection, turn right onto the first track of this walk. You will reach the parking area after 1.4 km.
