Hiking - The Saut du Laire

An easy hike in the open Drac Noir valley. The grassy slopes, the hayfields, and the pastures are the marmots’ favourite places.

"On this warm June evening, I cross the Charnières plateau. I notice a strange shape in the middle of the prairie that is most full of flowers. No, it is not a marmot. I approach, hidden by the alders hanging over the Drac. A perfect lotus position, in the simplest of clothing but respecting decency and decorum, thanks to square of material, a man is meditating. A childlike smile lights up his face."

Daniel Briotet, park ranger in Champsaur 

This itinerary which is suitable for children is best if you avoid setting off too late. Depending on meteorological conditions, vigilance is necessary when crossing the steep slopes under the Saulce chapel.
