Le Pilgrimage

3일차는 Le Pilgrimage Trail의 대미를 장식하는 2일간의 산악 여정으로, 펠부(Pelvoux) 산장(2,704m)에서의 숙박으로 절정을 이룹니다. 이 구간은 각각 약 25km와 40km의 두 부분으로 나뉩니다.



여정은 작지만 인상적인 피세트 폭포(Cascade de la Pissette)를 지나 계곡으로 내려가는 것으로 시작됩니다. 발루아즈(Vallouise) 마을과 지롱드 강(Gyronde River)을 건넌 후, 몽브리송 산괴(Montbrison massif

발루아즈 계곡을 뒤로하고 트레일은 지롱드 강을 향해 내려갑니다. 물을 건넌 후, 전통적인 알프스 생활을 엿볼 수 있는 작고 외딴 산악 마을인 부셰를 향한 꾸준한 오르막이 시작됩니다. 계속하기 전에 마을 분수대 중 한 곳에서 물병을 채울 기회를 잡으세요.



부셰 너머로 완만하게 솟아오른 자갈길이 산속 깊숙이 이어집니다. 토렌트 드 콤므 브륀을 건넌 후, 트레일은 숲을 통과하여 구불구불한 싱글트랙을 따라 가파르게 오릅니다. 당신 위로, 테네일 드 몽브리종의 극적인 석회암 탑들이 하늘금을 이루며 에크랭의 랜드마크 중 하나를 형성합니다.





마을의 역사적인 관개 수로를 따라 트레일은 점차 작은 산악 마을의 이름을 딴 Vallon de Narreyroux의 숲으로 들어갑니다. 이 마을은 계곡 깊숙한 곳에 숨겨져 있습니다.



경로는 강을 거슬러 올라가며 주변 봉우리에서 녹은 눈이 공급하는 수많은 개울을 건넙니다. 폭포가 산비탈을 따라 쏟아져 내려 이 지역에서 가장 푸르고 비옥한 계곡 중 하나를 만듭니다.



앞에는 Col du Bal

Stage 3 leads us deep into borderland. Not just geographically, but historically too, across high ridges once patrolled by armies, now silent but still echoing the past. This is a long traverse through the military zones that once marked the frontlines between France and Italy.



We head out toward Brian

The sound of the cowbell marks the official start of Le Pilgrimage. From basecamp Hotel Saint Roch, the journey begins with a steady off-road climb offering sweeping views over the Durance valley and the town of Briançon, the wider landscape that shapes today’s route.



You reach the Col de la Pousterle

By now, this route has become a true Pilgrimage classic, not just for its landscapes, but for the stories it leaves behind.



In our first edition, rain and thunder rolled in as we climbed the Galibier, the summit hidden in thick mist. The year after, it was coated in ice, with sub-zero temperatures turning

Stage 3 of the Pilgrimage Trail is a long, demanding journey that culminates with an overnight stay at Refuge du Pelvoux (2,704 m). The day begins with a descent into the valley, passing the small yet impressive Cascade de la Pissette.

After crossing it, a climb begins towards the village of Bouchier, a small, remote hamlet tucked away on the mountainside, offering a glimpse of how alpine life once was.

At the highest point of the largest climb, near the checkpoint, the gravel

We can call this ride a classic. Last year, we experienced intense rain and thunderstorms on the climb of the Galibier, with the entire landscape shrouded in thick mist.



This year, the route returns, as we want to give our pilgrims the chance to enjoy the breathtaking views of the massifs.



Slowly but
