Hiking - Le Piolit

An energetic hike on the sunny slopes of Le Piolit.

In late spring, the steep slopes are covered in flowers, as well as butterflies and foraging insects of all kinds.

The finale takes place on a crest and is quite steep, but the reward is a magnificent view from the Gapençais to the Serre-Ponçon lake!

Leaving from the Col de Moissière car park, take the road towards Le Sapet. At Arto, continue along the road towards Baillenq. Take the forest path towards “Torrent du Sapet“ (GR 50). The path winds its way up to Le Piolit. The last section runs along a crest, providing a superb panorama over the Serre Ponçon lake. Go back the same way.
