Hike "Roc des Pas"

A long hike with a long descent and long steep climb. Recommended only for expererienced hikers.
Beautiful view on the Truyère valley and the volcano massif. The "Roc des Pas" is a big rock which shows curious traces which seems to be foot-and handprints. Their origin is not known.
