Stage Description
This is a short but intense stage that develops entirely in the high plateau of the Central Range. The landscape is austere and beautiful, with alpine meadows and forests. It's a journey that requires being prepared for mountain conditions. Arrival at Les Sétoux, a small village on the high plateau, is the end of an in-the-wild stage. It's a journey to enjoy solitude and the vastness of the landscape, an authentic mountain experience.
The Bourg-Argental to Les Sétoux stage is a 16.7 km journey that enters the Central Massif high plateau. The trail starts from Bourg-Argental (525 m) and follows an ascending profile, with continuous ascension towards Les Sétoux (1100 m). The route traverses a beautiful landscape, with alpine meadows and forests. It is an demanding hike that requires good physical preparation. Arrival at Les Sétoux, a small village in the high plateau, is a final stage in full nature.
