Tips for the Ascent

• Plan Your Route: An IGN map can become your best friend for these adventures. Prepare by consulting the available PDF format to visualize your course.
• Prepare Your Gear: A good pair of shoes, water, and some snacks should be your travel companions.

Finally, a Surprise Guest

And don’t forget, when you come across a giant cairn on the Crêtes de Lure, be sure to greet it. It has been there since its little inauguration in August 2000, welcoming hikers from all walks of life with a slight smile (or maybe it’s just the wind?). In conclusion, these peaks offer you the opportunity to breathe deeply and appreciate the hard work that nature has put in place over millions of years!
