Please note: this itinerary includes a passage with a footbridge which is removed during the winter, making the hike inaccessible during this season. The footbridge is reinstalled at the end of June. Please contact the Tourist Office to confirm whether the footbridge is currently installed.
The water flow can increase considerably in spring, so it is not advisable to cross the river without the footbridge.
⚠️ There may still be snow-covered stretches. Please take care.
The ONF has installed temporary footbridges. They are short and narrow. The streams have a high flow rate. Use them with caution.










A lovely hike. With no particular difficulty, the Clos de l'âne is a very pleasant hike. It offers beautiful views of Valloire and the surrounding countryside in a bucolic setting.
