Semelles de vent dans les vallées
April and its first gentle suns, its still lively air, resounds like a call to walk. It is great to jump into your shoes and go see up there, over there, what is to be discovered. To start this hiking season, we offer three itineraries for the pleasure of the eyes. A treasure of natural heritage to discover on foot.
The hike of the Jasseries peddler
From the Col des Supeyres, walk in the footsteps of the pedlar of yesteryear. Follow the paths that go from chatter to chatter, in the heart of the vast landscapes of the Hautes-Chaumes, with short grass, where heather moor dominates. From time to time, thatched roofs mark the long houses in the summer pastures. From these open heights, you can enjoy the view of the Ance valley and the Auvergne mountains. Panoramic!
The Fossat Valley walk
Nestled under the bare crests of the Forez, this magnificent glacial valley is to be discovered along the Vertolaye stream. The granite chaos that litters the bottom offers the walker evidence of the work of time and water. Alive, the valley of Fossat also shelters in its sloping woods a rich fauna and flora. With its typical U-shape, it provides a welcome feeling of isolation.
Hiking in the Madet Valley
A storybook atmosphere hovers under the foliage of the Madet valley. During this hike, you are close to a gurgling stream, undergrowth crossed by spring light, flowery meadows. It does not take more for the imagination dawdles. And once you have reached the top of the Méraille hill, take a turn around, taking your time: castles and mountains come into your view, which will take you beyond the plain of Limagne.
