A little advice...

Go for a walk with serenity

From simple walks and mountain hikes , nothing can be improvised so here are some tips before leaving.

Precautions

    Avoid going into the mountains alone and/or always let someone know the purpose of your outing.
    Make sure of the route to follow and its difficulties before your departure: beware of the often slippery grassy slopes which can dominate rocky cliffs and do not venture into the bed of the streams.

Weather report

Don't forget to check the local weather forecast: 08 92 68 02 73 or 3250. In case of bad weather: fog, rain, snow... turn back. Some routes may present difficulties related to weather or snow conditions depending on the season.

Equipment & advice

    Hiking shoes, light clothing to protect yourself from the sun as well as from the cold or the rain, sunglasses, gloves, hat and/or cap, sunscreen. strengthen your balance.
    Do not forget to hydrate and eat regularly, respect recovery periods by taking breaks.

Environment

To keep the mountain intact, keep it clean by carrying a small bag to take your rubbish back down to the valley. The trails require a lot of maintenance work. Do not take shortcuts which, while digging, channel rainwater and deteriorate the paths.

The mountain, a shared space

In summer the mountain pastures are grazed by herds. A few rules allow you to enjoy the mountains while respecting the work of the breeders and the tranquility of the animals.
