Trail Reviews
A very beautiful loop 🥰 with a slightly steep descent approaching the waterfall and a very bushy section for about 500 m after the Scie du Bost
Walking shoes highly recommended and good physical condition (some climbs/slopes are very steep). Allow 6 hours of walking for a strolling pace with short breaks.
