Pierre des Saints walking trail - OTIHMV

Up where shady forests merge into high-altitude meadows, a bubble of wellness awaits you. Recharge your batteries with a refreshing adventure in the mountains and discover an extraordinary rock formation, testament to prehistoric times.

Description

Set off on Chemin du Petit Bonheur to discover a haven of tranquillity. Sun deck, banquet table, and the Petits Pas (Little Steps) workshop are sure to delight both young and old during recreational breaks. What is this hamlet, that looks like so traditional in the mountains? Go through the hamlet of Chantelouve d'en Haut, a popular crossroads for nature lovers. Ready to take on the climb among the larches? In the autumn, they deck themselves out in their golden best, adding an extra charm to Plan des Bialaires. Along Ravin de Resec, you may get a little short of breath, but a wonderful discovery awaits you. It seems that Stone Age people have passed through here and left a stone with cupules (cup marks ) carved into its surface. It's now classified as an historical monument. It might distract you from the stunning view of the opposite slope. The Vallonbrun are simply glorious.
