The Pas du Roc is the subject of a walk that allows hikers to discover the mountain pastures by means of an unusual footpath on the cliffside, traced in 1830, which allowed the wood to be transported to the ovens located in the hamlet of \u201cLa Verrerie\u201d.<\/p>\n

I propose here a relatively short route that climbs quite steeply in its first part to reach the Pas du Roc and its waterfall a little further away. Then, the profile of the route flattens out when it arrives in the Champ Laitier mountain pasture, whose toponym probably refers to a field where dairy cows used to graze<\/a>. The only difficulty of this hike is at the level of the path dug on the cliff just before the Pas du Roc. In fact, the trail is vertiginous for about 200 metres and can be tricky in case of rain or when the snow melts. However, this passage is secured by wooden steps and a cable fixed to the rock. In any case, I strongly recommend that you do this outing only in dry weather.<\/p>\n

Finally, due in particular to the presence of spruce grouse and the sensitive nature of the fauna in the area, dogs are only tolerated if they are kept on a leash.<\/p>\n
