    Tips

    Hiking

    The bare rock face of the Plesse is visible from afar.
    Two rockfalls in 1640 and 1755 resulted in a demolition about 250 m wide and about 25 m high.
    The debris fan is now overgrown. Its lower edge is about 350 m from the demolition wall.
    The landslide area is protected and may not be entered.

    Hiking

    In spring (when there are still a few leaves left) you can look from the mountain path of the P5 through the beech forest to the edge of the Plesse.

    Hiking

    The true size of the rock face can only be seen from a distance
