Randonnée été : Champ Cibou
This wild trail crosses a little-used slope. You will discover plunging views of the Eau D'Olle valley. Beautiful forests populated with abundant wildlife enhance this hike which revisits the history of hydroelectricity.
In the past, the forests of Champ Cibou or Chibou were exploited. Beech wood, also called faillard, was cut there. This name comes from the root "fire" because faillard was a dense wood, profitable to burn.
A Vaujany, each family owned a plot of pasture and a plot of wood. Today, the land registry still shows a division into strips.
Legend has it that in the woods of Vaujany roared a beast with 7 heads that had to be cut off all at once, otherwise they would grow back. To do this, the sappers of the 4th Engineers in Grenoble were called in, equipped with very sharp instruments, because the rifle bullets ricocheted off the creature...
The wolf, for his part, had less trouble killing the goat that he invited to come down from a rock on Friday: I always go skinny on that day! He said blandly to the overly credulous Biquette… All countries that no longer have legends are condemned to die of cold, said the poet Patrice de La Tour du Pin.
