Hiking - The arches of Saint-Pierre

A very unusual site awaits in this Scots pine forest !

Erosion has sculpted the rock into strange shapes and opened up arches, under which are rock shelters, a large square with a hoodoo (fairy chimney) and a cave tomb, where around 3,500 BC audacious trepanning was carried out.

Make sure your equipment is appropriate for the day’s weather conditions. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Take enough water, wear sturdy shoes and put on a hat. Please close all gates and barriers behind you.
