Very nice little mountain village.
There should be a bar but it was closed.
On the way there there are 2 ways to fill up with water.

A trail that descends alongside the Lignare stream. At first, it's a narrow path through the forest, steep and with tricky rocky sections. After crossing an impressive waterfall, the trail widens and becomes less difficult.

We have accomplished a fine circular tour from the Bourg d'Osians onto the Col de Sulude. 1000 altitudes per 10 km. Carved road carved into the rocky wall and drilled through it with four tunnels, all together 1 kilometer long. We witnessed gorgeous plains, sheep, cows and even living people. The panoramic view was unforgettable. Highly recommended. :)
