In brief
- A very easy and interesting circuit to do as a family, in a massif classed as a sensitive natural space, that’s rich in species that are as rare as they are seen.
- A nice little climb to the pond at the top called the “Trou des Américains”.
- Interesting to combine it with the Mines du Bruoux.
