Walking route – Les Mattes

    Châtel

    A trail for experienced hikers that takes you from mountain pasture to mountain pasture through forest and clearings to Les Mattes.

    Go to the left of the chapel in Très Ies Pierres and continue
    along the track until it forks. Turn right onto a wide road that climbs steadily
    through the forest past waterfalls until it reaches the Boudimes high pasture.

    Continue on the same track through woods with occasional clearings until you reach the Torrens chalet and the GR5 (major long-distance footpath marked in red and white that runs through the Alps from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean).

    Take the GR up to the left until you reach Les Mattes where you arrive at the turning to the beautiful Grange combe. Follow the
    path down past le Pron until it comes to a track that crosses it at right angles. Turn right and some yards further on fork left. Continue on this jeep track until you arrive back at your starting point in Très les Pierres.
