  • The shaded path leads to the fossil skeleton of an ichthyosaur (a 4m long marine reptile) preserved and protected at the discovery site. The path runs along the Bélier ravine and rises in a wooded slope of oaks and beeches to the Col du Jas.

  • The ichthyosaur site is located 200 meters below after the pass, it is one of the eighteen sites classified as a national geological nature reserve. Since 2018, it has benefited from brand new equipment that ensures its physical protection and allows its discovery. It is the skeleton of a large marine reptile that lived in the Jurassic sea about 180 million years ago.
