Your itinerary4<\/em>stages, a vertiginous loop in the heart of D\u00e9voluy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tour de l’Obiou<\/strong> is a committed, GRP\u00ae-certified<\/strong> itinerary at the crossroads of Tri\u00e8ves, D\u00e9voluy <\/a>and Matheysine. In 4 days<\/strong>, it circumnavigates this emblematic summit and links territories with strong identities. Along the way, there’s a succession of atmospheres: undergrowth, mountain pastures, mineral combes and balcony paths with spectacular views. This tour focuses on one key objective: to share the mountains responsibly<\/strong>. A deep immersion in a raw, contrasting mountain, for seasoned hikers and contemplative walkers in search of an authentic experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entrance to the D\u00e9voluy massif via the Col de Charnier, in a mineral setting, is marked by the presence of the Chourum Clot<\/strong>, an impressive karstic chasm<\/strong>. From Tr\u00e9minis<\/strong>, the path gradually rises through alpine pastures and increasingly open landscapes, offering fine views over the massif, until it reaches Lachaup<\/strong> in a bright, clear atmosphere. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stage 4 – 19.2 km<\/em>Lachaup \u2192<\/strong> Pellafol <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a wild transition on the edge of forest and mountain pasture leads to the Col de Fa\u00efsses for a final passage at altitude. The trail alternates between open meadows and dense undergrowth, in a calmer, more fluid atmosphere. The landscapes change gently, the light softens, and the climbs and descents punctuate the end of the route. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
