Description

This is the tour along the main Trek’Eau route.

It can be offered without luggage transport or with luggage transport where possible.

The night in the Barbustel mountain hut, generally in a shared room (as well as for those who want to do the extra stage with overnight stay at the Miserin mountain hut), requires a bit of adaptability but is rewarded by an environment that is second to none.

This tour is also suitable for intermediate walkers without much experience, although it does include a couple of stages that are quite challenging in terms of duration and elevation gain. We have included the easiest stage from Champorcher to Pontboset in the tour.

The option of luggage transport to accessible facilities certainly makes the walks in the various stages more enjoyable.
