    Hiking

    Lonelier route up and down

    Hiking

    Instead of descending back down the Chemin des Dames, we recommend the less frequented route over the Col d'Echelle. We had the entire route to ourselves. A difficult climb, it takes about 10 minutes longer. Beautiful views guaranteed in good weather!
