Walking - La Croix des Fosses - Le Bessat n°2

Discover La Croix des Fosses and La Madone on this pleasant walk.
Access to the cross-country ski trails is strictly forbidden for walkers, snowshoers, and mountain bikes when there is snow cover.
Start from Le Tremplin. Take the uphill road that runs alongside Cap Oxygène. At the first junction by the housing estate, turn right towards Croix des
Fosses/Bourdouze. At the intersection with a wide forest track, continue straight ahead (GR 7 and 42). Follow the path; at the next intersection, take the path that goes uphill to the left. You will arrive at La Croix des Fosses. For the return journey, take the path opposite the Cross, signposted for Croix de Chaubouret – La Pyramide.
Back on the wide path (you have the option to return to Le Tremplin via the
path on the left that follows the edge of the woods), turn right. At the next junction, you can access the Col de la Croix de Chaubouret to the right, but the route
takes the path on the left that climbs to La Madone (also known as La Pyramide).
Head down towards the village, then return to Le Tremplin via the road.
Everyone is responsible for their own safety. All hikes are therefore undertaken at your own risk. Please stay on the marked trails to protect fragile environments.


Some useful recommendations:

Check the weather forecast before you set off.

Some routes cross busy roads: Be careful.

Keep dogs on a leash.

Do not light any fires.

Take your litter home with you.

Admire the flowers, do not pick them.

Tick bites can lead to serious diseases. For prevention: wear clothing that covers your skin, use repellent, check yourself upon return, remove ticks with a tick removal tool without applying anything to it, and consult a doctor if redness or flu-like symptoms appear, or if you are in an at-risk group.

For emergency services, dial 18 or 112.
