A star-gazing hike!

The trail starts amidst the marmots and winds its way gently through the forest and gradually up the valley. All the senses are awakened for this natural spectacle! Perhaps some of the local artists will feature on the hike's list of honours: mountain hare, stoat, ptarmigan, chamois, rhododendron or martagon lily... The arrival at the Col de Longet is already a great victory, with the Tête des Toilies as guest star. The ascent continues on the southern slope, where the scenery changes with the vegetation. Another 300 metres on a track and finally the arrival at the Pic de Châteaurenard-Paul Felenbok observatory. Here, experienced astronomers and curious amateurs alike spend a magical night gazing at the celestial vault through a giant telescope. Last climb for the final scene: the Pic de Château-Renard, with its view worthy of Ceasar!
In front of the parking lot, a small snack bar is open in summer.
