Accessible to all, the trail is made up of a mosaic of landscapes and has been specially designed on stilts to preserve the ecosystem.
Passing discreetly over the water, discover the wealth of natural habitats as you cross a forest drowned in the sandy fill of the Lac de Serre-Ponçon.
And all this right next to a shopping area!

Description
At the start of the cul-de-sac used as a car park is the explanatory panel marking the start of the Petit Liou wetland discovery trail.
This is where you can log on to the "eco-balade" page, which serves as a guide and information document for the walk.
Take the path towards the river.
Turn right, and walk down along La Durance.
A hundred or so metres further on, the stilted path begins on the left. It is possible to make a round trip to the end of the dam from this point.
The path is interrupted by a vague track that you must follow in the direction of the lake for around a hundred metres. The path starts again on the left and soon gives way to a wooden footbridge over the water.
Follow the path on stilts along the information panels about the area you have crossed until you reach an observation tower overlooking Lac de Serre-Ponçon. From there, return by the same route.
