Mid-May
From the plain to the mayens
The start is on the plain, then the path tackles the slope, clinging above the gorges, up to Isérables, the hanging village linked to Riddes by cable car. From above, the vineyards and the plain look like a map.
Higher still, above the village, the forest opens onto the meadows of Pra da Dzeu. An old trough carved from a trunk pours out cool water, and the summits keep their spring snow. Four hours fifty of actual walking: a little stroll, really.
