July 12, 2025, Rando super devoluy sommet collet du tat

Nice little hike. The last part of the climb up to the Collet du Tat is quite steep, but after that the summit is flat, a pure joy for resting / doing sport / yoga / jogging etc.

The car park is accessible at the end of the Sauvas forest road. From there, you are at the start of the path which leads to the very mineral summits of Dévoluy.
