THEMED PATH: The precipice path

A pathway steeped in history against a backdrop full of natural riches!

“Climbing above the Durance, this itinerary gives a measure of the importance of this valley which became a key communication route in the distant past. You start to imagine all those people who have passed through it on foot over centuries and centuries;” Marie-Geneviève Nicolas,park ranger at the Parc National des Écrins

From the chapel, cross the bridge over the Biaysse and immediately fork right and then left after 100 metres.

1. Take the gently rising path which twists and turns past some fine low stone walls and comes out onto a cultivated flat area.
2. Follow the path to the belvedere, making a there-and-back detour.
3. Follow the road right for 500 metres until you reach Pallon. Go through the village and, as you are leaving it, 100 metres after the wash house, take the track on the right which runs past a house with green shutters. The path drops back down to the chapel in Rame.
