Description
This historical and geological path allows you to discover the various different types of forest in the area in a varied natural habitat.
From the bus station, go through the underground tunnel which crosses below the D909, then take the Calvary path up to the chapel. Keep climbing for another 200m (view point), before taking the path which climbs down to the left and rejoins the access path for the via ferrata. This circuit is a little precarious on its upper section, so please be careful.
