Trailence

Hiking - The Chargès source

This trail follows the torrent and is an opportunity to see how the water makes its way to the Chargès mountain pastures.

The first encounter with the Chargès torrent is quite strange: a "giant’s cauldron" has been dug out of the hard rock, forming a reservoir that seems to be bubbling. Later, along the torrent, calm gradually returns until the arrival at the source in the hollow of the corrie.

Between Chapelle-Saint-Marcellin and the Claie bridge, there is a danger of falling stones, especially during strong rainfall. The route is not recommended in this case.
