Cascade du Roubier
Nordic Walking at the Roubier Waterfall
ITINERARY:
Head to the back of the parking lot located below the Poutran gondola. Pass the mountain bike wash station and ride down the trail lined with tall wooden posts. Go down the log stairs [in front of the Moontain Hotel], then follow the signs for “Le Bessay” on your right. The descent follows a trail and then the paved Roman road. Pass the “Pont du Gay,” then the fountain and the Faubourg barn. Continue straight ahead, then turn left toward the waterfall. Once you reach the site, note the entrance shafts of the old coal mines. Head back and return to the resort, either via the same route or via the “La Combe” trail (turn left just before “Le Faubourg”).
