Description

A wild and peaceful valley, far from the crowds! Heaven on earth for wildlife observers... If you’re very patient, you might see some bighorn sheet at the Pointe d’Uble.

• Guidebook with maps/step-by-step : From the car park, take the footpath on the right that quickly leads up to the Chalets de Rosset. Then go left along a path through the mountainside pastures, at the foot of the green Pointe d’Uble. The path then reaches the river and passes nearby the Cascade des Munes waterfall. A few hundred metres higher, you’ll reach Les Munes pastures and its traditional chalets. Herds of cows graze here in the summer. Come back along the same route.
