Le Bois Noir

Le cheminement en sous-bois sur la majorité du parcours en fait la balade idéale pour les journées chaudes. Elle permet de découvrir les bassins de Turriers et de la haute vallée du Sasse.


From Les Dorats (1,050 m), take the narrow street between the houses and continue up the trail.
At the reservoir, take the left fork. The trail quickly enters the woods and becomes well shaded. Be sure to follow the yellow markings. Several logging trails branch off to the right and left. At a water intake, take the trail to the left (wooden post) to reach an ONF trail a little further up.
Follow this trail for about 100 meters to the right.
Leave the trail and continue along the path that climbs through the underbrush. After a steep climb, follow the trail that appears on the right. The start is flat, then at the first fork, take the left trail, which climbs again.
Upon reaching the Bois Noir ridge, take the ONF trail to the right, crossing the gate to reach the south-facing slope.
Take the right fork to reach an ONF gate shortly after.
Leave the main trail and take a fairly steep descending forest trail to the right to join another much wider trail as you descend.
Leave the main trail to the left and take a path through the beech forest. Pass a trail on your left that leads to Bois Noir. After the ford, the path exits the forest and enters a meadow, which you follow along the hillside. 
Once at Les Sausses, continue downhill to quickly reach a sunken path between beautiful meadows. You’ll rejoin the trail from the ascent after passing a sheepfold. Return via the original trail.
