Hiking - Le Point sublime

Reach the exceptional belvedere of "Point sublime" which provides a striking view over the Daluis Gorges and its spectacular and its red pelite which date from the primary era.
Red rock paradise...

From the car park, cross the road and at marker 66 take the path which sets off through the famous red ‘pelites’ (sedimentary rocks which date from the Permian Period, more than 250 million years ago) and which climbs more steeply from markers 5 and 6.

Continue on the discovery path on the right and head up toward the Mediterranean vegetation (downy oaks, boxwood and junipers) until signpost 7a at 952 metres in altitude (the highest point).

Carry on towards the right (south-east); the pathway along the mountain ridge leads to the locality called “Point sublime” whence, from a secure platform, you can look over the more than 100m-high Daluis Gorges; you will see an incredible landscape of giddying vertical surfaces and in the cliff face the remains of the copper mines.

Follow the same route on the return journey.
Caution: the itinerary goes through Daluis Nature Reserve. Please ensure that you respect the regulations: Dogs must be kept on a leash. No camping.
