Summer hike: "D'âme en hameaux"

  • Pedestrian sports
  • Course
  • Hiking itinerary

This beautiful descent follows the old route, the only way to reach the hamlets of Vaujany. This varied trail will take you from hamlet to hamlet, explaining their history.

After descending via the Pourchery path, the trail continues opposite, on the other side of the road.

Practical advice:
Comfortable in hiking boots or trainers.
A shuttle return is possible from Pourchery.

Conditions may change depending on the weather, snowmelt, and trail use.

Vaujany and its hamlets enjoy a relatively mild climate, due to their excellent exposure.
The snow almost never clutters the lower hamlets, it only stays in La Villette, the highest hamlet of the commune. A hike to discover this hamlet is proposed.
