Le vallon de la Buffe
This beautiful route will allow you to discover the natural riches of the Buffe valley. The latter is dominated by the Pic du Mas de la Grave at the foot of which the Gâ torrent has its source.
From the car park, go down towards the village.
At the first junction, do not go up into the village but take a hairpin bend to the right towards the foot of the ski lifts.
At the second junction, stay on the side (do not go down towards the torrent). Continue on the wide track.
At the next junction, turn right towards the three hamlets of Rivets. Cross them and reach the Tuf cross (1901 m). At the cross, go up to the right towards the Orliers mountain chalet.
Continue on the right track, cross the Chabanerie torrent and pass the chalet of the same name. Continue along the hillside then reach the ruins located on the edge of the Courbeille torrent.
Go down towards the wide track, take it on the left for 200 m then cross the Gâ torrent by ford (footbridge). Go back up the other side by a steep path and reach the good track of Combettes.
Turn left and follow it all the way until you reach Querellé.
Do not take the path on the right that leads to Clot Raffin but continue on the track that goes down to the "mine bridge". Cross the torrent and go back up towards Chazelet to reach the starting point of the route.
