Hiking - Les Trois Dents - Trail no. 3

Warning: Part of this route follows a rugged trail.
Be sure to wear sturdy footwear.

This hike allows you to discover the Trois Dents crags, which lend an alpine character to this area of the Pilat and offer magnificent views.

From the Col du Gratteau, go down the steps at the end of the Quai des Trois Dents and take the path that follows the contour line to the foot of the Crêt de Graland. There, bear right onto a clearly visible path heading towards the Trois Dents, just below the ridgeline. Follow this path through broom, blueberry and raspberry bushes. It will lead you to the Pic du Midi. Go around the peak to the north, then descend to a wide forest track and turn right. This will take you back to the Col du Gratteau.

You are responsible for your own safety and undertake all hikes at your own risk. Please stay on the waymarked trails to protect these fragile environments.

• Check the weather forecast before you leave
