A hike through a pine forest, ideal on hot days, to discover a small authentic village on the way to the Col du Granon, then the eponymous pass a few kilometers further on.

Description

From La Draye in Val-des-Prés, head towards the Granon chalets through the Infernet and Granon woods. You can either follow the wide forest track to the chalets, or cut through the woods.

Once past the chalets, follow the Granon torrent until you reach the pass.

Return by the same route.
