Hiking - La Malune
An easy walk, much of it going through a bright larch forest. A beautiful panoramic view over the untamed Agneliers gorges.
Close your eyes for a few moments and imagine a peaceful summer morning on the track towards Malune... You have gone back to 1925 and Louis is 9 years old. Today, he is having a change, delighted to get away from the chore of the hay: his father has asked him to take the mule his cousins lent him back to Malune Farm.

The itinerary initially follows a comfortable track indicated by yellow markers. Go past the last chalets of the hamlet of Les Blancs.
First you will reach eroded areas dotted with pines before arriving at a forest hut and the Fau waterfall.
Continue south by taking the marked path towards "La Malune"; it continues almost flat around the edges of the ruined farms of Le Villaret.
Subsequently, the slope steepens in through a larch forest, crosses a partially reforested avalanche slope and climbs to 1730m, coming out at the untamed Agneliers valley.
The path then heads downwards, arriving at the meadows near Malune Farm and overlooking the road up the Col d'Allos.
Follow the same route on the return journey.
