Gorges de Saint-Pierre - Congerman - Le Couguyon
Description
A beautiful trail opened up during the period of reforestation in the mountains. In the Chabanal forest, the undergrowth is filled with raspberry bushes as far as the Congerman forest huts.
From the hamlet of Villars-Heyssier in the commune of Beauvezer, follow the forest track to the gorge parking lot. This route is not suitable for mountain bikes, and is not recommended for people suffering from vertigo.
Beware: bad weather erodes the path, and the phenomenon accelerates in this very crumbly soil known as robine. This hike is classified as difficult, and is black in color. It takes place on mountain terrain where conditions are constantly changing.

Tricky passages
The trail is not suitable for mountain bikes and is not recommended for people suffering from vertigo. In spring, the ravines are full of dangerous snow bridges that can collapse as hikers pass. In rainy weather, crossing the ravine is also complicated.
Animals
Yes. Warning: you are in a pastoral zone, where guard dogs (patous) may be present.
Keep your dogs on a leash.
