Airy crests

Vibrations

Highest point: 5,750 feet. 2,400 feet up gradient. 5-hour walk.

You will walk through wide landscapes of dry mountain pastures from the Mediterranean world, to get right into an Alpine lawn, dominated by two majestic mountains: the " Cloches de Barles". You will climb on the highest one, crossing its pretty aerial ridge, then you will go on top of the second one, more massive. On the way is the understanding of this country's richness...

Coming down, you will cross lost ravines in waste lands, coming along remote farms of character.

 

Contrasts

Highest point: 6,050 feet. 2,550 feet up gradient. 6-hour walk.

Starting on a winding path in a forest of pine and spruce, you will then climb an impressive limestone ridge, little by little discovering the surroundings. Once on the top, you will follow the beautiful crest on one and a half mile, with exceptionnal landscapes all around.

And it will be time to go down a steep grass slope, leading to a smaller crest then to a forest until the fields and pastures of the Bès valley.
