If you relish a challenge and have an explorer's curiosity, this route is made for you. A whole plateau of surprises awaits you. Such a reward obviously demands some effort; there might be a treat for you along string of switchbacks gradually leading you from the Fourneaux forest to the first high-altitude meadow: wild strawberries. Listen to branches rustling in the gentle breeze that rises from the valley... And what a surprise when Arplane and its charming old chalets reveal themselves! After this epic hike, enjoy a moment of tranquillity amidst the fir trees. Take a break at the foot of the well-preserved ruins. Wander around exploring them at your leisure. Succulents and tall grasses intertwine under your feet as you relax, breathing in the fresh mountain air. At last, you've arrived at the gates of the famous Massif du Tabor nature reserve. The ultimate reward!
