    Tips

    On the “Sentier des 14 contours”, the path of the 14 contours, you hike up to the fantastic Creux du Van rock arena. The narrow path winds its way up the slope in serpentines and always offers you great views of the rocky cirque.

      The ascent from Noiraigue via this path is strenuous but beautiful. Once at the top, the view at Creux du Van compensates for the strain.

        Nice but steep and rough hike from Creux du Van down to Noiraigue. Good shoes are highly recommended!
