The tour of the Himalayan Bridges of Monteynard-Avignonet

Come and enjoy a unique experience on this lovely loop around Lake Monteynard-Avignonet and its turquoise waters. Discover the two Himalayan footbridges spanning the Drac and Ebron rivers, and enjoy the thrills! Whether you're setting off from Treffort or Mayres-Savel, start your day with a 30-minute guided boat trip to the other side of the river. Then set off at your own pace to return to your starting point via the two footbridges. The Drac bridge is 220 meters long, and the Ebron bridge is 180 meters long. These bridges offer a surprising experience 80 meters above the lake. You'll enjoy an air of the Mediterranean in the heart of the Alps, with the song of the cicadas and the brilliant color of the water. There are several picnic areas where you can relax and enjoy the panoramic view of the lake. Dry toilets are also available along the way.

Panel 1: The barony of Gresse at the time of the lords: the Artaud de Montauban and De Ponnat dynasties. Panel no. 2: Rural road no. 1 from Gresse to Monestier and the fairs of our two villages. Panel 3: The birds of Gresse to admire, listen to and, above all, not to disturb! Thank you Sign no. 4: The Laud mountain, home to 9 of the commune's 13 hamlets.

Don't forget to bring water, which is not available on this itinerary. The mountain pasture is a shared space, a place to recharge one's batteries, but also a place of work for shepherds and breeders. Respect the shepherd's peace of mind! Stay away from the heifers, don't damage the fences and close them behind you. Take care of watering holes and dispose of garbage. Stay on the paths and tracks, admire the flowers and photograph them without picking them!
