Hiking - La Maison des Gardes and la Porte de Fer - Le Bessat #3
Discover the Maison des Gardes and the Pré Dorel!
Start from Le Tremplin. Take the path opposite the inn. The trail runs alongside a small wooden cabin (start of the cross-country ski trails). After a short climb, you will reach an intersection; continue straight ahead. You will discover a small clearing called 'Le Pré Dorel' with a small bachat of the same name; walk alongside the bachat and continue straight on the path (shortcut possible: bear right). The path reaches an intersection; turn right and head down towards the Maison des Gardes.
Two options are possible: return to Le Tremplin or continue the loop via la Porte de Fer.
To return to Le Tremplin (short version), retrace your steps for a few metres to the previous intersection and take the path on the right which leads you back to Le Tremplin.
To continue the loop to la Porte de Fer, keep going straight along the path past the Maison des Gardes. When you reach a small clearing, take the
descending path on the right. At the next intersection, turn right, then
further on, turn right again onto the steeply descending path. Once you reach the bottom at the place called
la Porte de Fer, take the path straight ahead. Continue straight on this path.
You will come to a small clearing where several paths cross. Continue straight ahead. The path follows the edge of the woods and brings you back to Le Tremplin.
Everyone is responsible for their own safety. Therefore, you hike at your own risk. Stay on the marked trails to protect fragile environments.
A few recommendations:
Check the weather forecast before you leave
Some routes cross roads with heavy traffic: Be careful
Keep dogs on a leash
Do not light fires
Carry out your litter
Enjoy the flowers, do not pick them.
Tick bites can lead to serious illnesses; for prevention: wear clothing that covers your skin, use repellents, check yourself upon your return, remove ticks with a tick remover tool without applying anything to them, and consult a doctor in case of visible redness, flu-like symptoms, or if you are in a high-risk group.
For emergency services, dial 18 or 112.
