Departure: Cascade car park
1. Take the path in the car park which indicates the direction of Luzier. In the spring this trail is very fragrant with the smell of wild garlic which abounds in the area.
2. the path climbs a little in the undergrowth with a few roots and small pebbles to step over
3. then you arrive at a crossroads where you have to follow the one on the right towards Luzier.
4. the path is now flatter; in the fall you will be able to observe some wild cyclamen.
5. when you leave the undergrowth you cross the fields which descend to the hamlet of Luzier.
6. Arrived at the hamlet you go down the street on the right which passes in front of a large farm then in front of the chapel of Luzier (the chapel can be visited only on request, however you can have some explanations at the tourist office); you will also pass in front of beautiful, highly decorated village basins.
7. Then you will join the small road of Oëx to reach the starting point.
