Trailence

Hiking - From the Drouvet summit to Prapic

This crossing progresses in a grandiose panorama of the high Champsaur, between lakes glittering in the sun and dark "gates of heaven".

The alternating landscapes make this walk particularly enchanting and as often, the descent is made amongst summits and lakes, dales and pastures. The colour of the water contrasts with the more austere, wild schistose slopes of the valley that is nicknamed 'Heaven's gate'. Near to Prapic, the landscape opens onto vast pastures.

Avoid this route in bad weather. Certain slopes can be slippery.
