Description

A nice easy and accessible hike, ideal for a family, to discover mountain hiking in a magnificent setting and to understand the geological evolution of this Unesco Geopark site!
After a walk along the edge of the Lac des Plagnes, head towards Cubourré, you will discover a nice waterfall in the forest and you will reach a peaceful plateau, bathed by a stream and overlooked by the Pointe d'Entre Deux Pertuis and the Pointe de Chavache. The Lac des Plagnes site, classified as a Unesco Geopark, is a unified geographical area whose sites and landscapes are of international geological interest. All along the route, interpretation panels invite you to understand the geological evolution of this place. A trail leads to the Tindérêts refuge. During the summer school holidays, everyone can enjoy a gourmet break in the refuge after the climb.
