Description

This trai has unmistakenly taken its name from the belvedere overlooking several valleys and mountains in the territory of Serre-Ponçon.

From the car park, turn left onto the road.  At the bend, take the track on the left towards the path to Le Méale ("Sentier du Méale").  At the next intersection, stay on the uphill track. Go past the three channelled springs and head towards Les Orres. Enter the state-owned forest of Pouzenc.

After a few hundred metres, when you come to some stones and a gate, take the path on the left (sign with a white arrow). At the crossroads, follow signs for Crévoux. When you come to the track, go right towards Le Méale and follow the track running uphill. At the hamlet of Le Serre, turn left.
Finally, at the place called « Croix-Pierre », turn left. Follow the path right and this brings you to the top of Le Méale. From here, loop around to the crossroads at the place called « Croix de Serre ». Join the path on the right which brings you back to « Crête du Méale ». At the sign, turn left. At the « Piste de la Plâtrière », head towards the forest car park. On the way, turn right. In Les Clotasses, take the path on the left leading to the car park.
When you come to the picnic tables, take the path on the left. At « La combe Noire » ,head to Les Gaillards following the GRP (regional long-distance trail) route.
