Enter a silent, verdant clearing. In fine weather, share this colorful paradise with butterflies fluttering in the gentle breeze. You're sure to leave a smile on your face.

Description

Take one last look at the village of Aussois, surrounded by slender mountains, sometimes still whitened by the marks of winter. With your shoes firmly laced, set off into a pine forest like no other. The path opens up before you like a mysterious passage.
Treat yourself to a moment of peace and quiet in this natural setting. The sun's timid rays create paintings of light and shadow, drawing ephemeral frescoes on the wooded ground. Arrival at the plateau is imminent.
Why not take advantage of this view for a gourmet break, at the foot of the Turra d'Aussois, face to face with the Pointe de l'Échelle? The wild grasses sway in the wind. The Arponts plateau invites you to relax. Immerse yourself in the present moment, lulled by the delicate songs of the birds. Let your gaze bounce off each of the peaks of the border range.
Still have a little energy left? Dare a short detour to the Chappe telegraph, just a few steps away, and enjoy a descent that will delight trail enthusiasts.
