05160 Réallon
This trail follows the torrent and is an opportunity to see how the water makes its way to the Chargès mountain pastures.
The first encounter with the Chargès torrent is quite strange: a "giant’s cauldron" has been dug out of the hard rock, forming a reservoir that seems to be bubbling. Later, along the torrent, calm gradually returns until the arrival at the source in the hollow of the corrie.
