"Les géants de pierre" action trail, a hike and game trail that brings the mountains to life with the whole family!
Find the "story caches", talk to the heroes of our mountains and take on dozens of challenges.
From 6 years old.
A fun walk to discover the pink marble quarries.
View of the Serre-Ponçon lake throughout the tour.

Description

1 - Head for the signpost and take the path up through the pine forest.
The path climbs gently up .... before the first fork in the road.
2 - At the crossroads, take the wide path on the right (yellow markings)
3 - Stay on the main path and do not take the path up the slope on the left.
4 - At the new crossroads, take the path on the right to reach the main quarry and then the Salados plateau.
5 - You are now on the Salados plateau, a sensitive area. Please stay on the path.
The Salados lion (bas-relief sculpture) can be seen on one of the first boulders.
Cross the plateau to reach a lookout point overlooking the lake before heading back down.
6 - At "la Peyre de l'Aigle" you can discover a rock shelter, before heading downhill to the left to rejoin the uphill path, and the car park.

Game instructions:
When you come across a marker, look for a "History cache" within a circle of 20 paces around you.
Once you've found the "cache", take a break and discover the adventures of our heroes!
Relive the Sens action challenges, close and replace the "cache" before continuing.
