26 – LE TOUR DE LA CABANE DE PESSON

Steps

Step 1

From the Hospice de France inn, follow the signs for ""Fontaine Rouge"" and ""Cabane de Pesson"". The track is wide, shaded and easy to walk on. You will follow the stream, which will provide some welcome refreshment in summer.

Step 2

When you reach a junction (1,449 m), leave the path leading to the Campsaure plateau on your left and continue straight ahead.

Step 3

A few minutes later, you will leave the forest and see the hut.

Step 4

Depending on the water level, you can either cross the ford or take the small bridge a little further on. On your left, you will see the path leading to the Frêche ponds. Take a short break by the water, then set off again on the track on the left bank. After a short climb, you will descend to the edge of the woods.

Step 5

After crossing a ford under the Penjat footbridge (1,441 m), turn right to return to the starting point.
