Today, we'll be using the tried-and-tested hiking shuttle again: We'll cycle the 13 km (400 meters in elevation) from Chézery-Forens up to Lélex, where the Télécabine la Catheline will take us from 900 m to 1450 m.

This is where our hike begins through a unique, green mountain landscape. Summer flowers are blooming everywhere, and cattle are grazing.
