Description
An easy and fairly shaded hike, along a tracks and wide paths, which allows you to discover the forest of the Saint-Genis cirque,and to enjoy the freshness of the Riou gorges.
From the parking lot, follow the track going left. At the fence, continue straight on until the Pas de Jubéo.
Follow the wide forest track which descends regularly, passing all the paths on the left. On the opposite slope, the track climbs slightly then descends, still in the shade.
Turn right onto a small path ("Route Forestière du Château"), descend for 100 m to an intersection ("Saume Longe").
Follow the path on the right and descend into the Riou gorges. A bridge allows you to reach the other bank and, through a beautiful forest of Austrian black pines, go up to the Jubéo forest house, then to the parking lot.
