Maraysse

With its typical steep rock overlooking the Oule valley, Maraysse’s hike is short but very technical. Only well trained hikers  may  take this trail which ,on the ridges, requires agility and ease in a vertical environment.


At the sign "Les Garenses" take the left path which cuts a winding track, to reach the Col du Casset (1242 m).
At the pass (picnic table), follow the Maraysse ridge, to the right, on a narrow and technical path. Halfway on the ridge, leave the ridge and take a cross path along  the south side: be cautious and stay focused. You’ll then reach the top of Maraysse (1567 m) with its cross. Take, on the southwest side, a very steep passage (remain attentive). At the foot of this corridor, the well-marked path continues to the west under the cliff. The path joins a grassy ledge and the ridge (1504 m).
The trail goes down quickly to the right through a clearing, then it enters the beech grove (check and spot well  the  path that runs down between the trees and is difficult to see). Steep at first , the trail becomes easier  up to the pine forest (look out for the markings).
At an intersection (1210 m), you’ll meet a well-marked path that you’ll follow to the right until you reach a forest track (at a bend). Follow it, on the left, downhill, to go back to your starting point.
