  • An immersive hike into Queyrassin pastoralism: a cohabitation to be respected.

  • The climb takes us through a forest rich in color and sound. Kinglets, different titmice, woodpeckers... all singing their melodies and brightening up the atmosphere.

Experience is essential, and knowing when to give up is sometimes preferable to taking risks. And if you're new to the mountains, don't hesitate to call in a professional! Before going out, I check the Météo France Montagnes and BERA bulletins (risks and avalanches).
