A Mecca for hiking and even for the more athletic climbing, the cliffs provide an almost mountainous atmosphere, sheltering the cave known as "the cave of wolves".
At the bottom of the valley, a rocky peak keeps an enormous block of rock nicknamed the "Roche Branlante" or "Roche Virante" in balance. A legend has it that each year, on December 31, at the stroke of midnight, this enormous block rotates a full turn on itself. Others call it the Mammoth or the Mammoths. Why ? If you look at the bottom site with a little hindsight, the rocky towers then evoke the long parallel proboscis falling to the ground of several mammoths facing you!

Particular rocky site above the village of LANTENAY.

A nice point of view on rocks and the valley of Ouche.

Accessible to walkers and mountain bikers

To be seen more in clear weather and not too windy.
Bring good walking shoes and a windbreaker and a mobile phone.
