Description
Far from the crowds of tourists, this 85-kilometer hiking trail through the Pays du Buëch is brimming with beautiful scenery, history, and authenticity, nestled between Provence and the mountains.
- TipsWARNING: On this route, you may encounter livestock guard dogs tasked with protecting herds from wolf attacks.
To minimize the risk of conflict, bringing pets is strongly discouraged, even if they are on a leash.
Cyclists, please be especially vigilant: upon seeing a herd, you must get off your bike, stop, and allow the dogs to assess you. Then, give the herd a wide berth, keeping your bike between you and the guard dog.
In any case, remain calm, avoid sudden movements, and do not attempt to cross through the herd.

Adapt your gear to the day's weather conditions. The Pays du Buëch can experience intense heat in summer and the harshness of a mountain climate year-round. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sturdy shoes. Trails can be very steep and technical in places.
