April 27, 2025,Boucle Saut du Gier – Refuge de la Jasserie au départ de La Valla-en-Gier
The first part is very nice, with the water crossing and the waterfall. But when you get to the refuge, the path is more of a chaotic 4x4 track, not very beautiful and not pleasant to walk on.

Warning to hikers: significant positive and negative elevation gain (38%) and especially 3/4 of the way through scree fields. Have a good hike!
