Following the GR50 trail, the climb is fairly steady and serves as the only real challenge on this route.
At over 1,400 meters in altitude, managing your effort becomes essential.
At the top, a beautiful viewpoint opens up, offering a panorama of the Grand Serre mountain. A magnificent plateau follows, where the surrounding trees form a kind of guard of honor, allowing for a gentle restart.

The route then reveals the Cirque du Louvet and its mountain hut. You can refill your water at the fountain near the hut.
The loop around the Cirque is mostly flat before giving way to the descent back: a beautiful single track, initially running along the river, with some technical sections.
The trail then joins a forest path for a few hundred meters, offering a smoother, more relaxed finish to the Cascade.
