Description

Less challenging than its cousin, the Parpaillon, the ascent of the Col de Valbelle offers pleasant gravel trails in a setting that speaks for itself.
A mountainous setting for this ascent to 2382m. This unmissable pass is located on the mountain pastures of the Risoul resort. Some of this route can be used for a round trip, and at the Col de la Cloche there's a lovely descent along an old road overlooking the Risoul stream.( Possibility of adding the loop around the Lac de Siguret)
  • Tips
    Herd protection dogs : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
