Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

From the car park at the end of the tarmac road, take the wide dirt track that leads to the Croix de la Troche.
1 km after the cross, you'll come to the hamlet of Les Prés Plans, with its sumptuous 17th-century chapel of Notre Dame de la Vie.
The valley widens after the hamlet to form a large green plateau dotted with old mountain chalets.
The road ends at the 2 bridges, where you'll find a signpost, and you can retrace your steps to return.

You can also set off from the Plan du Moulin car park, passing through Les Vachers to reach the Prés Plans path.

New for 2025: once you reach the hamlet of Les Deux Ponts, you can continue on your way towards the Boucle Chez l’ermite or the Tour des Charmettes.
