Distance: 2.6Km
Dénivelé: 211m

There are 8 interpretation points along this loop. Not only will you be able to get some height, but you'll also be able to discover a range of unspoilt natural environments: the La Balme caves and cliffs, the forest and the dry grasslands.

The site is home to a remarkable array of flora and fauna.
Keep your eyes peeled! You may be able to spot the red pulsatilla and the Carthusian carnation, which flower in early spring, or the many birds of prey that like to nest in the rock faces of this sensitive natural area.
