July 23, 2025,Les Rochers d'Uchon – Les Rochers du Carneval - Runde von Uchon

A beautiful, not too difficult hike.

The hike mostly takes place in cool forest, wonderful in warm weather.

The paths are mostly wide and easy to walk on; only in a few places are they narrow, trail-like, and have significant inclines and descents, but they are not technically demanding.

The walk starts at the Auberge, runs over country roads and forest paths along a few lakes. Marked with yellow stripes on poles, trees or stones.
At the very end, don't forget to walk to the Rochers des Carnavals. Some granite blocks on top but a beautiful view of the area!
