In the mountains

The crossing to the Col du Pré is without great technical difficulty. The return on pastoral track, climbs to the Passage de la Charmette above Roselend, east side. The last stage is the descent on 6 hairpin bends and return to Saint Guérin.

Below the Roche Parstire, you will cross mountain pastures and wooded areas with a few footbridges over very wet areas, before reaching the Col du Pré on a pretty track. Be careful, however, of a few landslides that could damage this part of the route. The pastoral track taken on the way up, after the Col du Pré, is used by the mountain pasture farmers who have settled for the summer on the entire slope. Be sure to respect its use. When passing La Charmette, you will cross mountain pastures again on the way down, until you return to Saint Guérin by the track taken at the beginning.
