The Chemin de l'Adroit on foot
Take a peaceful walk along one of the valley's sunniest south-facing slopes, on the lower foothills of Vallonbrun. A picturesque stroll through woodlands and meadows, strewn with natural wonders, leading you to a charming chapel.
Description
Awaiting you in the distance is the hamlet of Collet, where you'll turn back to complete a round trip. From spring to autumn, there's plenty of sunshine that'll warm you from all angles. You're sure to love this sun-soaked path and its hidden gems. At the halfway point, the charming Saint-Laurent chapel unveils an unexpected story. Continue your walk, drawn by the calls of vigilant marmots who've already spotted you. The little valley of Collet is one of their kingdoms, and if you stay quiet as you pass through, you'll see them going about their business. But what are those colourful little helmets hanging above your head? One thing's for sure: this path really does yield up the joys of the mountain! Via
ferrata enthusiasts will be the first to agree. These cliffs are also a paradise for bearded vultures, who often fly around here.
