マニグードの天然記念物・トップ14

We were there at the end of September 2024, and there was already a lot of snow. Be sure to check the weather conditions beforehand. The snow made the hike significantly more challenging. Many people weren't well prepared.

The many lichens, ferns and mosses on the trees fit very well into a fairy forest.

Superb rocky hole at the top of the mountain. Difficult to access (bike on your back) on the way up and 150m unrideable at the start of the descent on either side. Prefer to go up via Grand Crêt and go down via Paccaly. Very technical, steep and exposed trail. Reserved for excellent descenders.

As you climb the challenging trail to the top of Tête du Danay, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Once you reach the top, you’ll come across the iconic Croix du Danay, an imposing cross that marks the highest point in the region. From this vantage point, you can admire the picturesque villages, winding rivers and lush forests that characterize the landscape.

After a nice climb, we find ourselves straddling two very different valleys under this natural limestone arch, all in all impressive.

This hole in the rock is exceptional, it deserves to be climbed to see a magnificent view
